The subject for the Thanksgiving 7th grade English assignment was to write a paper on what you are thankful for. One of our kids in the Kid’s Club answered the question in a little different way. “Sometimes what you are thankful for,” she said, “ is not for what you get, but for what you get to give.” She wrote about how she and some of the kids from the Kid’s Club go once a month to work and serve at a BBQ for the homeless. She wrote of how she helps pray for the individuals and how they often come back the following month with those prayers answered.
One of our 4th graders wrote about her experience at the BBQs as well. She answered in a writing assignment of how she is changing the world!
We initiated taking the kids to serve at the BBQs because our earnest goal is to grow these kids into givers and not takers. These kids are getting it!
