Never in a million years did I intend for anyone <I>(anyone)</I> to compliment me for being generous. Really. The point of this post was to point out how actions oftentimes really do speak louder and that our children learn from us always. We are our children's first teachers, and hopefully we're teaching them the right things.<BR/><BR/>So, thank you all for pointing out how nice it was that I did this or that and that my boys have a good role model and whatever ...<BR/><BR/>But, please take to heart that this wasn't the intention of this post (to be my own cheerleader for stuff I do without a second thought).Mary Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117930865426577018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196613470262449144.post-55693828939474363502008-11-19T12:34:00.000-06:002008-11-19T12:34:00.000-06:00I think kids these days need to learn more of this...I think kids these days need to learn more of this and I'm so glad you are teaching by example with your boys.

We should all be looking for opportunities to give.
