A Child's Soul


No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity
hidden in the soul of a child.

The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.

--Emma Goldman

As the holiday season approaches, help introduce a child to the joy of giving.

The kids each chose an "angel tree" child to shop for. We did it as a family Sunday after church. They loved it. And, didn't even fuss when we explained that the toys were not THEIRS.
I have this burning desire to help them understand the importance of giving back and to help them realize how very much we are blessed with.

Love the quote.

Love you!

Aww, that's a great quote. I can't think of a better way to teach our kids about this part of being a Christian, giving to those who have less than us.

Can't wait to see you Thursday. Don't forget the chairs :)
(And your appetites.)
