Generous

It's hard not to brag when I've got such an amazing family. A few years ago, I wrote about my niece (then in high school) who requested donations to World Vision instead of gifts for Christmas (something she's continued). Pretty amazing. [Not necessarily as unusual as one might suspect based on new coverage of teens.] Then, right before Christmas, my nephew



saw The Dog Who Saved Christmas.



When his mom was talking to him about his birthday party (he turned 7), he said he wanted to help dogs at the pound, instead of getting presents. So...that's what he did. His friend was going to go with him to the Humane Society to deliver the things he got. Now, how can you not have hope for the future.

It's easy to sit back and complain about the younger generation, (I am guilty of this too often) but there are many kids who are exceptionally well-grounded and generous.
