    The giving boy

    holiborder06.gifGiving to Toys for TotsBefore the game there were Coca-Cola sponsored activities at the First Tennesse Pavillion. We took Fuller there to see the fun and I gave him my bus money to put in the bucket.

    The other day I posted about virtual kettles for the Salvation Army and how I seem to never have spare change for giving to bucket charities. Well, yesterday I was going to ride the bus to the stop on Broad Street and then walk to the Pavillion and meet my family. Then I decided to take the free shuttle and walk from the Marriott. That meant I had extra change in my pockets and I gave it to Fuller to put in the bucket.

    I know that there is lots of giving going on during Christmas time and I really hope that we are able to teach Fuller (and any other kids we have someday) that it is better to give than receive.

    Nice story. I never have cash on me because I have a teenager, but I grew sad passing by the red buckets of the Salvation Army. Finally, I stopped and ask, "do y'all take checks?" They do. I felt so much better when I walked by that bucket on the way out of the store.

    Always a wonderful cause, and now Fuller is beginning to know that, too! Good job!

    Kudos to you for teaching Fuller early on about giving to others!

    Visiting by way of the carnival. My mom always gave me change to put in the buckets and I loved it. I always thought it was pretty neat.

    That's an excellent lesson to teach! I'm planning to instill the same values in my son. Way to go!!!
