Today at school, I picked up trash on campus as part of our Annual Service Day. When I got home, my daughter wanted us to clean up our street.
So, for ten minutes, we walked out to our country road, and she picked up trash with socks on her hands instead of gloves. We found empty soda and beer cans, containers for drinks and pizza, and various paper products.
I was proud of her willingness to serve, so tonight, I gave her the first STAR CARD I’ve handed out at home.
I circled the word CARING and wrote, “Thanks for caring for God’s creation!!”
Postscript: My daughter has just made a STAR CARD for me for picking up trash at my school.
Post-postscript: My daughter has just made a STAR CARD for my wife for all things she does. “I love the way you love me,” writes my daughter.
