The other day, I caught my son rummaging through his toy box. I asked what he was looking for. He said he’s looking for toys that he could pass on to his little sister.
“Really?” I asked happily, feeling proud of my little boy’s voluntary effort.
“Yes po.” He replied as he continued to search inside the box.
A few minutes later, he rushed to our room and excitedly showed me and his dad the toys he found for his baby sister.
“Mommy, look!” He exclaimed as he handed the toys to me. We told him that we were so thankful and proud of what he did. Not only did he help us save money, he also proved to us that it’s never too early to be generous to others. That at an early age, he knows the value of giving.
If there’s one thing that makes me truly proud of my son, it would be his generous heart. Countless times, he chooses to share whatever he has with others (toys, food, candies, etc.), when it’s much normal to just keep them all to himself. He’s just a kid, people would understand anyway.
With my son’s little act of kindness, once again I was reminded that it is more blessed to give than to receive. And as parents, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing our kids doing the right thing no matter how young they are.
Have a blessed day ahead!
Baby Ayesha loves her hand-me-down toy!
