Since it is Lent we have been talking more about Easter, Jesus and giving at our home. At church we picked up an "Operation Rice Bowl" container. Our boys being 2 and 4 are naturally selfish. I thought this would be another great way to teach giving and not always getting. We discussed how Jesus gave us the ultimate gift; Himself and salvation. At first they didn't want to just put the coins in but after some discussion about how this money will go to kids who don''t have a lot of food or clothes they were more willing. We talked about our favorite foods and how we can just go to the fridge and eat something but how that isn't true for lots of people. And since we have more than enough it's good to give away.
Who can add more coins?
Emmeric chose to count a few coins before he put them in. In the end they were fighting over who got to put in the last coin. I was a very proud Mom!
