Church and the Offering Plate

To elaborate more on my story of church and my great grandparents---

As I stated, I usually sat in on Maw Williams class just because, I wanted to be near her. I would sit and listen and of course being so little, I really didn't understand what was being said or even could read to know where to look.   Those little old ladies would dote on me with candy and I would have juice dribbling down my chin by the time class was over, see I tried eating them all at once.  :)  
Time for the collection plate to come around and as the story goes... "Not only did Bobbie put a few pennies in the plate but she would scrounge around for the dirtiest old pennies she had to give"...  Of all the money in her change purse, she dove right in and gave....   
Now to look back at think..... this reminds me of Andy Griffith Show where Opie opened up his change and gave a measly two cents to charity.......   :)   
My goodness what was I thinking....??   My poor Maw.....   she just shook her head and loved me in spite of myself....

Thanks-------
