In a world that tends to focus on "me" and what is good for yourself rather than others it is sometimes hard to instill humbleness, the attitude of giving and kindness in children. We have a book that is called Gods Wisdom for Little Boys. It talks about character traits and gives a Bible verse with each one. One was on Kindness and it illustrated little boys handing out pumpkins to their neighbors with a little note that read, "Blessings to You". I thought this was a simple gesture that we could repeat and teach the children about giving and kindness. We did wheel the pumpkins around to the neighbors with the same little message, "Blessings to You" attached to each pumpkin. Hopefully these little acts will help ingrain in my children some character traits that would be pleasing to God.
