My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way ,we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, "my job. Family to Feed."

At this store, alike this is not normal. My 10-year-old noticed him and make aon how bad it must be to have to standin the cold wind.

In the store, I asked each of my kids tosomething they thought our "friend" there would. They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a. I thought about it. We wereon cash ourselves, but… well, sometimesfrom our need instead of our abundance iswhat we need to do! All the kidssomething they could do away with for the week.

When we handed him the bag of, he lit up and thanked us witheyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it forhis family might need, he burst into tears.

This has been a wonderfulfor our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can! Things would have played out soif I had simply said, "No, we really don't haveto give more." Stepping out not only helped a brother in, it also gave my kids thetaste of helping others. It'll go a long way with them.
