January Generosity

January has already wrapped up but I wanted to quick mention what the girls did this month to work on our word of the year: generosity.

At a friend’s suggestion (thanks, Paul) we donated food to our local food bank. Solanco Neighborhood Ministries is very near our home so we loved starting the year off with something that will very directly impact our small town. 

Since the girls take turns going with Trent every Monday to the grocery store this was a simple one to work on for the month. I assigned each girl a meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) and they got to pick things that they love to eat to donate. I didn’t add up the dollars spent or even the number of food items purchased because that wasn’t the point. 

The point is that each child got to physically pick up something that will be given to another family in our community who is going through a difficult time. 

They were proud of the nice box of food we delivered to the food bank and are looking forward to February’s non-profit. 

Luke 12:48 “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who had been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”
