As a family resolution for the year, we decided to once a month do an act of service for someone. In January, the kids went through the toys they didn't play with much. They cleaned them and donated them to the local Children's Hospital. It was hard for them to part with toys they loved. I was so proud of them to be willing to give to children less fortunate than them.
In February, we decided to do service to each other. We made this clothes line with little buckets. Each bucket had a name on it. At the beginng of each week we drew names. The name we drew was the person we had to do service for all week. Each time a service was done they recieved a kiss or an hug, well a hersey "kiss" or "hug" in their bucket.
The kids had a great time help one another. I hope that they have learned that service can be just down the hall. We don't always have to look to outside our families to give service.
