I met my sister with all my nieces and nephews at Dollar Bills store today. The kids were all spending their allowance. When we got ready to check out the cashier asked if we wanted to buy a toy for a local child of someone in the Service. I asked the kids and they were ALL EXCITED and gladly purchased a toy and then put it in the box.
The kids already know the important of our Armed Forces and never hesitate to say 'thank you' to a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine.
Over Thanksgiving Alex's , 8 yr old nephew, public school teacher asked each of the kids what they were thankful for. She told my sister later that he almost made her cry. He stood tall and said 'I am thankful Jesus died for my sins' and then prompted sat down with a smile.
As long as they can keep these values they will grow up to be fine Americans and adults.
God bless Alyssa, Evan, Brian, Tanner, Olivia, Alex and Dylan. The best nieces and nephews this aunt is proud to know. ;)

Well, that was just sweet. This morning our entire school for our church had a program in church, and it gave me the chills to see those little ones stand up and be so proud to sing: Shine Jesus Shine. God has sure blessed us both.

That is so great! But we all know that they have a fabulous aunt that will remind them of these values all through their lives!

I'm sure they're proud to know their aunt, as well. ^_^
They sound like they are very grounded, and spiritualy mature for their age. I don't think I would have bought a toy for someone else at 8. lol.
