So before I start my story, our family has been trying to fill our warm fuzzy jar by doing service. To read all about it you can click on the link HERE, it will take you to the original post about our goal.
****************************************
tonight we were all sitting on the couch together. ( I love that about Sundays) Anyways, we were all sitting together watching "The Other Side of Heaven". It was at the point of the movie when a hurricane had just destroyed their island and they were all starving, waiting for a boat to come with food. During this part of the movie, the local minister on the island gives "Kolipoki" (one of the characters) his last bit of food. He explains that he is an old man and has lived his life, but that "Kolipoki" is young and still has a lot of good to do. Then he hands "Kolipoki" the jar of food and walks off.
Cullan then says out of no where.."Um, He should really get a warm fuzzy for that!"
Garran and I kind of laughed but were happy that, Woo Hoo they are understanding what we are doing.

| We are getting there. Here is an update on our jar so far. |
it is so fun to see how excited the kids are about this goal we are working towards. they LOVE it. they really do look for things to do service wise to be able to put warm fuzzies in the jar. i know the over all goal is to teach them to enjoy serving others, but i think you start small and expand on it. we always talk about why we did whatever service it was and how it makes us feel happy when we do it.

We just filled our jar!! The kids got to go play a few games at Chuck-E-Cheese. We told the staff why we were there and the kids received extra free tokens and congrats for good behavior!
