“Sharing is Important!”
Yesterday,
my family went to meet some of our family members for lunch and an afternoon
together. Two of our relatives just
got new puppies. Abel is a yellow
Lab. Lela is a Golden Retriever. Here is a picture of them playing with a
stick one of them found. They love to
play with it together. They really
shared very nicely!
Now
take a closer look at the picture. In
the upper left hand corner, you can see the end of my Chocolate Lab’s
tail. My dog didn’t care to share at all
while the two young puppies just loved sharing.
Watching
this reminded me of how kids can be so accepting and generous with their “stuff”
while adults can be less likely to share the good things they have. It is amazing that two puppies reminded me of
the importance of sharing the good things we have in life. “Each
of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of
others.” Philippians 2:4
Family
Discussion Points!
Talk
about why sharing is so hard sometimes.
Do
you think it is easier to share when you are younger or older? Why?
Have
your family look around you and see someone with whom you’d like to share
something. Then share with them!
