Defined:
- Readiness or Liberality in Giving
- Willingness to Give and Share
- Quality of Being Unselfish and Kind
For the Month of December, the kiddies are learning about generosity.
At their age and in this season of "stuff," not the easiest quality to focus on.
How to be generous?
They were not sure what they can give.
We often use dollar amount, quantity and massiveness to measure the "Value" of a gift.
In truth, I think a true gift of generosity takes a lot more than making a list, shopping and paying for stuff.
We discussed Attitude, Willingness, Effort, Thoughtfulness and the Desire for Others to be Happy.
We came up with the Giving of Time, Giving of Doing For, Giving of Doing Together, And the Enjoyment of the Shared Experience.
They decided to "make" gift certificates to give of their time, their effort and their willingness to share experiences.
Sometimes, it is much easier to give a material gift than to
give of the "self."
Just a thought learned from the kiddies as we move into the
Season of Giving.
