My son decided to give his birthday money to the homeless shelter

1w ago1 min read

I'm not going to lie, I'm tearing up a little writing this. My 10 year old got $50 for his birthday and instead of asking for video games or whatever, he asked if we could give it to the homeless shelter downtown. We didn't push him toward this at all. We just try to serve as a family once a month and I guess something stuck. Feeling so grateful that his heart is pointing toward God's heart. These are the moments that make the Christian parenting thing feel like maybe we're doing something right.

Get those tears out man because that's beautiful. That's your parenting working the way it's supposed to.

That's incredible man. At 10 years old to think about other people like that is something special. He's learning something way more important than anything you could teach him.

This right here is what it's all about. You're raising a good human. The fact that this came from him not being told to do it makes it even more meaningful.
