Teaching our kids how to serve

The family to family group at our church organized a service project to spend a couple of hours at a nursing home in the area.  We are always up for these kind of experiences because we believe it is important to teach our daughter how to serve others.  We did name her "Young servant" after all and she already has a servants heart so we want to encourage it.

Paige & I with some of the other moms and children got to participate in the exercise time which was tougher than I thought.  Then Paige did puzzles with some of them, and I did cross words with others.  And we just talked to them and got to know them.  Some of them were quite the hoot.  Never know what is going to come out of their mouths.  Justin ended up with some of the other parents in lock down section (Which I figured out when I took Paige to see what he was up to and set off the alarm trying to get back out).  He said it was a lot harder because most of them couldn't hold a conversation.  But there was a great worker that talked to him and helped him communicate.   We were so glad for the opportunity to serve and look forward to serving our community in other ways.
