The Value of a Giving Heart

Saturday
May 17, 2008

We were checking out at the register, when a lady approached us. She asked if we would like to donate a dollar to children's miracle network. I could not refuse, so a handed the dollar to my daughter and she gave it to the lady. Then the lady gave her candy. Didn't think nothing of it, until we started walking out of the store and I noticed another both set up and the sign said donate a dollar and get ice cream bar. That's when it hit me.........what are we teaching our kids???? Why can't we just give and not get something in return. Why can't we give, out of the goodness of our heart, because we care about others, because God Blessed us with life. That's the greatest gift of all. Why wouldn't they give that candy to the kids, that they are raising the money for in the first place? Have you ever though about this, or am I the only one out there.

Today my little girl through a fit because I forgot to get cupcakes to take to school for her Birthday. How spoiled is that..........To me it is embarrassing......I am just really disappointed....We were not raised that way. I sure don't want to raise my kids that way. Why do they have to get paid for chores that we do or rewards for being good. WHAT VALUES ARE WE TEACHING OUR CHILDREN. Why do we always have to get something in return? Just the other day I asked my son to go and pick up his room. He asked me, what am I going to get for it? WOW..........WOW.........WOW.........it is all around us, we are all destroying our children and our future. Why not teach them great values like helping one another, when some one is in need be of good service. help to those who need help. Working as a team, a family team. Daddy work very hard and extremely long hours to support our family. Mommy works around the clock at home making sure every one is feed, clean, healthy, happy......In order to be a family every one need to work together and have responsibility's. What we put in our kids today, will reflect in our future tomorrow.

One of the things that I am thankful for is my Parent's and the Value of Giving Heart that they put in us. They not only talked about it, but every day they lived it. They gave their finances, time, afford, hard work. What they had they Gave. Now that we are all grown up we try to live up to that. It is in our hearts, in our blood, in our genes. It is very near and dear to me. I want to instill the Value of a Giving Heart to my children. It's a cycle that can't never be broken if you keep giving. Don't never stop Giving or get discouraged that you can't give. There is always something that you can give. If you stop giving you could break the cycle. Mom, Dad if you read this I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for setting a good example of a Giving Heart! I also want you to know that now matter what happens we will always be there for each other. I love you guys so much and miss you. You are my true heroes!

This issue is all around us. It's in our schools, in our grocery stores, in the department stores, out on the streets.........we cannot avoid it. So please teach your kids at Home the value of giving heart. It is more important to give than to receive.

So babe, if you ever read this or I should say when you read this I hope this will make you day;) I LOVE YOU......

Well, here we go

I am not a fancy writer, or a great speaker, but I will tell you what I am good at or at least try to be, is Mommy. I am a proud Mother of 6 beautiful children. That's right 6! Elizabeth who is 9, Nathan 7, Victoria 6, Preaston 3, Giavanna 1 and our little one Ashton Luke who is one month old. Wow...........I got to make sure I didn't leave any one out. Ok I am all good. ;) Well Mommy Hood is HARD work lack of sleep, crying babies, morning rush, constant diaper change ( am I ever going to get out of that stage) bottles (beleive it or not we have a bottle search teams), Binky's, formula, Laundry (that little machine never stops working) all the home cooked meals he he heeee (Mc Donalds, Wendys, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Subway) ok, just kidding really....... you think with 6 little munchkins I could afford that........the gas alone could put me in the red. Ok getting back to hard work (my husband might reading this) He always tell me you only make it harder for your self. It doesn't have to be so hard ,just be on a schedule, stay organized and have a daily routine. How many of you have heard that over and over again......I tried but for me it does not work because of all the unexpected surprises I get in between my scheduled day. I do have a little routine not perfect but trying my best, We get up and my whole focus is to get the two oldest kids ready and of to school. Next I work on getting the little babies ready. Ok, Victoria is not a baby she says.........boy she sometimes acts like one. (she can't read yet;). It is alot of work getting all the little ones ready and feed them. Then to the play room we go............once i get them busy playing......I snack out to get my daily gear on tennis shoes, big T, and some comfy sweats, but my hair has to be perfect, just in case my husband shoes up......You get the pic.... I load the laundry run down stairs start on making lunch, go get all the kids feed them and we all go out side to wait for Victoria's school bus. Thank God they stop right in front of my house, God must of knew that I was going to live here way before I did. Thank You Jesus that helps me allot. Ok back to the routine.........then I try to put the two baby's down for a nap, while Preston has some alone time Destroying the toy room. I run down stair again and clean up lunch and start prep for dinner. I run back to check on kids and reload the laundry. Then I go around the rooms and make sure they are nice and tidy. Go down stairs check my bank account, make sure we are not in the red......he heh heee pay some bills, and get on ebay spend the remaining change........;) with out my husbands knowledge. By the time I am done the kids are also done napping so we go to the diaper changing station, we take care of business and then we get a snack and off the play room we go. Now I have to make sure I don't brake my legs or trip and fall, remember Preston was left in there to have some alone time.............Get them all settled in and of I go with the baby in one arm to check on dinner. I have few moments to enjoy my little one and there is the door bell.............Guess who?????????? Yep it's the Big Kids. Mom we're home,I'm hungry, mommy Nathan been bad today, mom Lizy hit me..........you get the picture. Ok I try to round up a snack and something to drink and it's home work time. God Bless our Teachers. Done with Home Work its dinner time....... Set the table... feed, feed, feed, Daddy's home, ok make him a plate. We then talk about our day, laugh and discipline, then cry. We clean up as a family and Mommy and the kids go up stairs, while Daddy get's some alone time and calls work making sure his store is not falling apart. Bath time oh my, Girls first, get them dressed braid hair. Now Boys, reload laundry while they are soaking in the garden tub. Give baby a bath and get all the boys ready for bed. Then we all go to the Destruction Zone other wise known as a toy room we try to rebuild and restore. Daddy comes up and tucks the kids in we say a prayer turn on our stories on tape and lights out. Then Mommy, Daddy and little Aston go into our suite Daddy plays with the baby, feeds him while mommy gets out of her gear and gets some space. When I get back from my space and get into theirs. We say a prayer read our Bibles, self help, power books and lights out. Good Night.........I love you...........aaaahhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
What A Day. Would not trade it for any thing and I mean this......
