[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 588802, member: 1722"] We are practicing Christians but I made the decision when Duckie was a baby NOT to explicitly tie good works exclusively to our faith. That doesn't mean we didn't do good things through our church (like collections for our national church's relief organization) but we have tried to tie it to everyday things too. Some examples are donating to her classroom and school, supporting all the organizations she has been involved in (from cheerleading to scouting to theater) to collecting for an orphan disease that impacted a teacher's extended family to learning to give up unused clothing and toys to friends and family that could use them. We used our faith to back up and support our volunteering and giving, not as the reason for it. I hope that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
