I liked your spiritual approach to it though, I hadn't thought of that! It seems so many are focused on the fairness principle even in our marriages. We figured out a long time ago that it is almost impossible to figure out what is "fair" and instead both focus on giving 100%..instead of trying to divide everything "50-50".

I agree that it is for grown-ups AND kids!To be always keeping score goes against a generous heart of love, somehow.<br /><br />But if you come up with any wise way to teach this to your kids, be sure at let me know!!! I suspect prayer is the most important element towards making this part of a family philosophy.Betsy de Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081162585307212930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525923104595441331.post-13519556593062415282012-03-22T14:20:06.957-07:002012-03-22T14:20:06.957-07:00Laura, What a treat to hear from you.

I remember when I was teaching that it was hard to even convince my students to share equally, yet alone be generous in giving...they were almost obsessed with things being 'fair' and if it was ever 'not fair' many students could not handle it. In real life, things are not always fair, and I think having an attitude of gratitude and generosity will take them far! We have Phil 2:3 on our bathroom mirror right now...I like to meditate it when I am brushing my teeth!Veronica and Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10575796197838256080noreply@blogger.com
