Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for the fact that my child does not know poverty.

I'm thankful that I can help donate to end poverty among children.

I'm thankful that there are companies that support the mission to end child poverty.

It was a teachable moment for Reagan yesterday when we ended up at Walgreen's  The cashier asked if I wanted to purchase a red nose. Rea was ecstatic to get a treat and she heard the cashier say, thank you for donating to charity.  So of course as soon as we left the store, Rea asked, 'what is donating to charity mean?'

So we had a big 'ol discussion about children who live in poverty and how we can help.  I googled it and we looked at pictures and I think it resonated with her that it's important to think of others and always look for ways to help.  She even asked if she could take her red nose to school to teach the other kids about how they can help.

I'm feeling very thankful today.
