Unfortunately, I am starting to see that we tend to give our children/grandchildren too much! We are creating greed and instilling it in our children. It is time to give to those in need and to help those who need help. I have seen children with their rooms filled with toys, but they play with only a few. They want and they want each time they see a toy commercial, but they probably won't even play with it if they did get it. And yes, I am so guilty of this when it comes to my grand kids. But this year it will be different. I realized that it is more of a blessing to just take them to church, to the park, or just to spend time with them at home. They are not going to remember the stuff you gave them, but they will always remember the time you shared with them. God blesses us daily; we need to share those blessing with others. <br /> When I hear my 3 year old singing "Jesus loves me this I know...."; I know that giving back to God is so very important.
