I always want my son to do what is right even if no one knows about it.

And the good will always outweigh the bad. <br />What an awesome mother you are!

I th...I am so glad that you want that for your son. I think it is so important for children to learn about kindness and service to others. I am sorry to hear that you have had some not so great experiences, sometimes there are people that will take advantage of your kindness, but that says more of them than of you. Just remember that your heart was in the right place and it isnt your fault their intentions weren't the best. I do think that social media shares of kindness are good though (it's what I have build my blog on after all) I think that, again, as long as your intentions are good, social media sharing can be super powerful! I like to share kind acts as inspiration and reminders of how easy it really is to serve and be kind. Some people think that service and kindness need to be large extravagant events and acts but it really is simple. I wish you so much luck in teaching E important life lessons and I just know that with your guidance he is going to turn out to be one heck of a young man :) chrissyblakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647609788557657173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-68290161894102333292013-10-08T20:41:13.995-07:002013-10-08T20:41:13.995-07:00I had an additional thought!

I actually love when people share service experiences on facebook, blogs, etc. It always uplifts me and makes me feel better than most other fbook statuses. It's probably not good to do it JUST for likes, but it always inspires me to also go out and serve. Just an extra thought :)katildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794183122186770465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-65857614108623345832013-10-08T20:24:13.936-07:002013-10-08T20:24:13.936-07:00First of all, now I am really curious to know the ...First of all, now I am really curious to know the details of this gas station incident! And second, service to others really can be difficult and thankless. I think that society glamorizes serving others. One time a lady asked Joel and I to take her to the store so she could get some groceries. So we did. She ended up buying booze. She was an alcoholic. It was pretty lame when we realized that we had just enabled her addiction.

I want my kids to know all these things too. And I want to remind myself of them when being genuine and trying to help other people doesn't always turn out right.
