There is nothing like a sweet 5 year old to put things into perspective with his words – “Sharing is Caring”!

It was a Sunday after church and I had arrived at McAllister’s for lunch a few minutes before our family and dear friend with her sweet 5 year old son were going to join me.  To help make sure we had a table when the restaurant got busier, I had gone on through the line, ordered my lunch and found a table large enough for our group.  About the time the rest arrived, my food was already being delivered to the table.  I had soup and they had put a few tortilla chips on the side of the plate.  As our family likes to say – they put just enough to garnish the plate, rather than the serving you might like to accompany your meal.

As I sat there waiting for our group to make their way through the line to join me, my friend’s son came to wait with me at the table rather than stand in the line with his mom.  He had no more climbed up in the chair when he snagged one of my precious few chips.  I teased him and said he better not eat all of my lunch or I would have to share his.  With those precious eyes looking up at me, he said without missing a beat, “Sharing is Caring” and helped himself to another chip.  As I looked back at him, I knew that this moment needed reinforcement of this message that he clearly had been learning recently and was still navigating just how it applied.  So I shared my few chips with him and chatted a bit more about sharing while we waited for the group to make their way through the line and join us.

Whether it is a lesson like this with a child or sharing in other ways, I know that there is truth in this message.  When we share what we have in our possession, what we have learned previously or even of ourselves and our time we are showing that we care for those around us and want them to experience the best we have to offer.

My business over these 16 years has been about sharing something I love and have found to be useful with those around me.  I am blessed by those of you who help me extend this by sharing with your friends and family too.
