我和孩子们周末去超市。在路上，我们看到一个人拿着一张纸，上面写着:“丢了工作，有家要养”。
在这家店里，像这样的景象是不正常的。我10岁的儿子注意到了他，他说在寒风中站在外面有多糟糕。
在商店里，我让我的每个孩子挑选他们认为我们的“朋友”会喜欢的东西。他们拿了苹果，一个三明治和一瓶果汁。后来，我17岁的儿子建议送他一张礼品卡。我想了想。我们自己也缺钱，但是，有时候，我们恰恰需要的是从我们所需中给予而不是富足中给予!所有的孩子们都说这周他们可以不要一些东西。
当我们把那袋食物递给他时，他高兴起来，含泪向我们表示感谢。当我把礼物卡递给他，说他可以用它来满足家人的任何需要时，他突然哭了起来。
这对我们家来说是一次美妙的经历。几天来，孩子们一直在寻找我们可以帮助的人!如果当初我只是简单地说:“不，我们真的没有钱给更多。”那么事情会有所不同。“走出家门不仅帮助了一位需要帮助的兄弟，也让我的孩子尝到了帮助他人的甜蜜滋味。这种甜蜜会伴随他们很久。
