Sweet Music
We came across many Salvation Army kettles on street corners on our trip to the big city. Most, believe it or not, had groups of 'soldiers' singing Christmas carols, complete with microphones and amplifiers. Please, give me the distant tinkle, tinkle of the bell as I approach and the sweet music of a small child like this.
The childish joy of putting a penny in the collection tin.
ReplyDeletelove that sign! we the little boy is learning the lesson of charity at an early age...wonderful! we have the salvation army kettle at our kroger, unfortunately i am there almost daily, but anyways...if i have cash on me, i give each of the boys money to put in...in hopes that giving will rub off on them ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, a sweet child perhaps learning the meaning of Christmas that it is better to give than receive. And a second yes to that sound of the Salvation Army tinkle bell.
ReplyDeletewhat a precious child.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeletei love that sign!
ReplyDeleteThe child is a perfect answer to the sign. Great catch!
ReplyDeleteI always support the Salvation Army! They do god things.
ReplyDeleteNice catch, BM! I've heard you always follow the money!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed the Salvation Army bands in England. None here in France...
ReplyDeleteThe signage is awesome :^)
ReplyDeleteI do like the sign. I miss the sound of the bell around here.
ReplyDeleteThese people are always a little mysterious. The S.A. is officially a church, a religious organization. You can't mistake the uniforms. But I keep wondering what these people do the rest of the year and how the organization recruits them. Less mysterious than the Masons, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteThis sign is a first for me.
ReplyDeleteLove that you captured the Salvation Army volunteer watching the child about to make a donation.
ReplyDeleteYup seen some in some big malls and i as usual give a small amount. Sort of habit actually, i find Salvation Army in their efforts.
