Generosity!

It's always heartwarming to see individual's and organizations' charitable gifts and acts that make our community and world richer and better.  We all have many, many examples of acts and impacts, but I want to share a special call to action that motivated our son's lacrosse team to make a big difference.

Teachers and coaches do what they do because they care about kids.  There are multiple opportunities to express gratitude, which I hope happens frequently.

Our varsity lacrosse coach loves what he does and cares about each player.  He's even gotten fouls for demanding that the referees ensure the safety of all players.

He and his wife (who is also a beloved girl's lacrosse coach) gave birth during this season to a precious baby boy.  Despite this forever life-changing event, they continued their commitments to their players. 

Our boys' lacrosse parents chose to make a most special tribute to our cherished, hard-working coach.  We had 100% participation from parents in purchasing savings bonds to establish an education fund for their newborn and any other children they are fortunate enough to parent.

We all have the chance every day to express gratitude in meaningful ways.  What special examples will you share?
