我和孩子們週末去超市。在路上，我們看到一個人拿著一張紙，上面寫著:“丟了工作，有家要養”。
在這家店裡，像這樣的景象是不正常的。我10歲的兒子注意到了他，他說在寒風中站在外面有多糟糕。
在商店裡，我讓我的每個孩子挑選他們認為我們的“朋友”會喜歡的東西。他們拿了蘋果，一個三明治和一瓶果汁。後來，我17歲的兒子建議送他一張禮品卡。我想了想。我們自己也缺錢，但是，有時候，我們恰恰需要的是從我們所需中給予而不是富足中給予!所有的孩子們都說這周他們可以不要一些東西。
當我們把那袋食物遞給他時，他高興起來，含淚向我們表示感謝。當我把禮物卡遞給他，說他可以用它來滿足家人的任何需要時，他突然哭了起來。
這對我們家來說是一次美妙的經歷。幾天來，孩子們一直在尋找我們可以幫助的人!如果當初我只是簡單地說:“不，我們真的沒有錢給更多。”那麼事情會有所不同。“走出家門不僅幫助了一位需要幫助的兄弟，也讓我的孩子嚐到了幫助他人的甜蜜滋味。這種甜蜜會伴隨他們很久。
