A Teenage Daughter's Good Deed Made Me Proud

--by Aurelia, posted Jun 1, 2010

My daughter Lizzie called all excited to share her experience with me. "Mom, I did a good deed today and you'd be so proud of me!" and of course I am.

Here's what happened....

After wok, Lizzie had to stop for gas. She was at the station waiting in line to pay. It seems the lady in front of her was from out of town and really lost. The person behind the counter was trying to help her with directions, but the lady was so confused and afraid.

Lizzie knew exactly where the lady wanted to go and she offered to go there and let the lady Follow her. The lost lady was soooo appreciative. Lizzie said it felt good to help a stranger.

So when your teens seem to be nothing but sassy and selfish...remember, they are watching you and learning. In a few years they'll be out in the world with memories of what they've seen you do. I feel so blessed to see this happening.
