To Be Generous...

I've noticed something about Emery lately. She's a very generous kid. We haven't intentionally taught her how to be generous, I think God truly made her that way. For example...

She gets Amelia's drink cup every time she gets her drink cup from the fridge.

When she got 2 $1 bills for Valentine's Day she immediately gave one to her grandma. Anytime she has two of something she gives one away.

My mom has a big basket of mints within reach of Emery Ruth. Every time we visit she gets a mint for everyone that is around- if they asked for one or not!

I love that God made her that way. Now, I have to remember to help that amazing character trait blossom into a strength for her.

One who is tender hearted and one who is generous...Wow! You are truly blessed AND a good example of both! I would definitely label you as both. Just proof again that morals are caught, not taught.
