A 3yr old's thought of kindness

Tonight, after a wonderful family dinner, we sat down with our kids to read a story out of Andrew's Little Boy Bible Book. At the end of the story, they give you a review that you go over with your kids to make sure that they understand the story. So I asked Andrew,

Mommy: " What would you do to help other people?"
Andrew: " I would save them."
Mommy: " How?"
Andrew: " Well, they don't have money, so I would give them money so that way they
could go to McDonald's or Burger King so they can be happy."

My eyes became tearful. I was so shocked. I didn't even know what to say but "Thank you". He just smiled at me and said "Mommy, that makes me happy so everyone would be happy." Looking at my little boy with such a big heart makes me so proud to know that even he understands that one little act of kindness can go a long way.

  1. Oh how cute! Drew-drew is such a sweet heart, I think he learned that from his mother who always does lots of sweet little things for other people =)

  2. That is really sweet. Compassion is such an important thing to learn and it sounds like he already knows a lot about it. I can't believe he is about to be 4!
