WE try to drop little nuggets on the kids as much as possible. There is always something to be grateful for.
Sometimes the nuggets turn out a little undone or overcooked.
When our kids were much younger, we told them that other kids did not have as good as they did- that there were some kids who went to bed hungry.
"They would love to eat those vegetables you are trying to leave on your plate!" I said.
"I really want to help those kids and give them these little trees Mama," our son told me one day.
Well...
The other week, prior to praying, I talked about the importance of praying for others and not always asking for things for ourselves.
"God really likes that and will definitely give you the desires of your heart when you think of others before yourself; even people you may not get along with."
Well...
Our son volunteered to pray that night.
I think he prayed for every family member, extended family member, all students in his school, all teachers, the crossing guards, neighbors and even prayed for the nice people who work at the convenience store, where we frequent often.
His sister almost went to sleep by the time he finished.
