Ninth Big Give

So I decided that if I get other people to help, I can give really big! I volunteered to take the Cub Scouts with me on a service project. These boys are 8 years old and very impressionable. Teaching them how to serve others can really have an impact at this age.

Anyway, I had planned on weeding an old lady's yard, but it was kind of cold out and I forgot my jacket, so instead, I brought them back to my house and taught them how to do "blue darts". I can't believe that none of them had done one before. What are parents teaching their kids these days? It felt so great to share my talents with them and help them develop their own talents.

This reminds me of a wise saying, "Give a man a meal, and you feed him for one day. Teach a man to grow a garden, and you will feed him for a lifetime." I feel like I've fed these kids for a lifetime.

Here is great blue dart video on you tube.
