I am so proud of my daughter. She is 7 and smart and sweet and beautiful. This AM, my wife and her ran through the donut shop and there was a homeless man right near the drive thru. My daughter instantly saw him and motioned for him to come to car and asked him if he wanted something. He smiled and said he would take anything if she gave it. My wife bought him a coffee and a donut and a bottle of water and my daughter handed it to him and gave him some change. My wife said the smile on the homeless man's face was as big as the moon. My daughter smiled back at him and told him "God bless you sir". I am choking back tears typing this. I am a proud father.

TL;DR- my daughter has a heart of gold

Youre right to be proud. Sounds like a very christian thing to have done...

When my son was about 5 he and I were eating breakfast in Charleston and when we left a man approached me and asked me if I had any money I could spare. I told him, truthfully, I did not have any cash but if he was hungry I would buy his breakfast. He was very happy and I did so...my son deathly quite the whole time. In the truck he asked me why I did that and I told him the man was hungry and no matter why it was the right thing to do feeding the hungry. He stayed quite for at least 30 minutes mulling that over.

He is 23 now, graduated from college and is working in his field....not making much but off the payroll completely accept for $50 hear and there his mama sneaks him. Calls me every afternoon on my commute home and his...yesterday we are talking and he says "Oh shite...let me call you back". I thought he had been in a wreck. When he called he told me that while stopped a traffic light he saw a woman about 60 drop her phone into a storm drain. He had pulled over, got down on his belly and got it out for her. In Atlanta. Folks everywhere ignoring this woman and he sees it and immediately helps.

He also takes his granny who doesn't even know him (dimentia) to lunch once a month without prompting and even takes her to a park or a basketball game. He took feeding that hungry man to heart.

Kids learn from their parents and most of what their parents teach them the parent ain' aware of it until years later if then...
