It doesn’t have to be a huge commitment – remember I said I am overwhelmed as it is – it can be raking some leaves, bringing a gift to someone who is hurting or ill or even offering babysitting to another worn out mom. Our kids need to see us giving to others and learning how to give too. For me right now, that giving can’t be a huge time commitment, but if I keep an open spirit I will see the opportunities God is putting right in the middle of my day.

I always talk to my daughter about charitable events but it would mean so much more to have her participate! What great ideas.

We are serving Him, when we serve others. Our family does secret santa drops of goodies on peoples front steps, we invite those with out families to share our Christmas Dinner, and this year we are going to help serve lunch to others in need. We don't have much ourselves, but I want my children to give to others and expect less themselves, to feel the true spirit of giving of themselves.

Thanks for keeping me up with what people in the real world are doing. Best wishes These are all great positive ideas, however I think our sites are a little lower for the time being.

I try to involve the kids (well the older one at the moment, the little one is only 15 months!) in this kind of service to others. Example: a friend has just returned home from hospital so we took a meal and some cookies around on Friday. Offspring #1 was involved in the baking and knew they were for our friend. When Daddy came home from work Offspring #1 flew out to tell him all about our cooking and delivery adventures and was able to explain why we had cooked up a storm. At Christmas one of the stores has a 'wishing tree' where you can place gifts for needy children. We have always bought a gift for a child the same age as Offspring #1 and now for Offspring #2. Last year was #1's first time choosing 'his' gift and we explained what/who it was for and he chose a lovely gift, helped wrap it and put it under the tree at the store. He told his grandparents all about it and took a great deal of delight in knowing that he was giving a gift to someone whose Mummy and Daddy didn't have enough money to buy any.
