8 New Feature! Youth In Service Introducing Chloe As a new feature, we have added a story about youth in service. This month, we feature sweet, curious, bright, and playful Chloe. This is a personal story for us because she is our grandchild. On a recent trip to the kids museum in Rutherford, NC, Chloe jumped into action to help with one of the displays. They have a grocery store where kids come in, get a cart, shop, and even check out at the cashiers stand,. There is play money, where someone can act as cashier and the kids get the full experience of being in control at the store. Chloe and I had already played in the grocery store once during the visit, but she really loves the exhibit and it seems to be a really popular activity with the kids, boys and girls alike. As we entered the exhibit for the second time, we were shocked to find everything had been thrown on the floor. The place was a complete mess. I was ready to take Chloe to another exhibit but looked down to see Chloe picking up the items and putting them back in place. One of the workers came in, apologized, and said a little boy had done the damage. She said he just threw everything everywhere. Chloe said, “That little boy shouldn’t have done that.” Since it was obvious that Chloe wanted to help, we both got a cart and started to pick up everything on the floor and return it to the shelves. The museum worker was amazed as she watched Chloe working diligently to help get the store reopened for the other kids. I was so proud that my heart was about to burst. Chloe didn’t need prompting, she just saw that something needed to done and stepped up to the plate. She had such a determined look on her face, she never once complained or decided she had done enough. Her goal was to continue to work until the job was finished. This little 4-year-old girl finished the job, watched as the store started to fill with kids again and then moved on to the next exhibit. The museum let her pick a little gift for helping but that isn’t why Chloe helped, it came straight from her heart. Chloe and her beautiful mother Katie.
