A 12-year-old Arkansas boy’s decision to sacrifice a chance to see his favorite baseball team and donate his $1,000 savings instead to help keep his school open has earned him a trip to New York.
The act of selflessness caught the attention of the Yankees owner George Steinbrenner who wrote to Jonathan Farrar and offered him a personal tour of Yankee Stadium and time on the field during batting practice.
It’s amazing when 12-year-olds have this kind of thoughtfulness, and I suspect it happens far more in families where faith is present than otherwise (his mom emphasized prayer in his decision).
I know people do great things for great causes daily and don’t get this kind of recognition. Kudos to those who do great deeds in anonymity. Your rewards will be great.
