Today I was thinking about something my husband, Jerry, always says. Since they were little, he has told the kids, "Never miss the opportunity to make someone's day!" I love that philosophy and approach to life, which is probably why I married him :) As parents, there are so many things we need to teach them but this simple little idea can make a huge difference in their lives and the lives of others.
I was reminded of this on Mother's Day. Jerry and the kids worked so hard to make the day special and it was great! Children love giving if you teach them how, even if it's just the gift of time, the gift of listening, or the gift of love. Ask your children whose day they can make today and teach them how, no matter how small the act of kindness is. If it comes from their heart...it couldn't be any better!
Peace and blessings,
Lesa
