Lizzie saved up some birthday money and did chores (as mentioned yesterday) to earn money to pay for one month of membership to the "builder's club" on Roblox. I was asking her what the difference would be and how she would use the Robux (in-game money that only members can earn). The first thing on her list? To send some robux to each of her sisters who aren't members so they can't earn it on their own. Then she wants to create a cool hairstyle or something like that and sell it for regular dollars instead of member stuff so anybody can have something new. It makes me very happy to hear that thinking of her sisters and other people comes naturally. I have been a huge beneficiary of her willingness to help others. Meanwhile, Sabrina is here talking about a club she'd like to set up with a couple of neighborhood friends. She was just trying to decide which day of the week they should set aside as "service day" to help other people. Seriously. I wouldn't think to make this stuff up. While I am not a fan of debilitating illness, it has been amazing to see what qualities it has brought out in these girls. I wonder how much of their character development I can put at the feet of something I wouldn't wish on anyone? And how different things might be if I was able to do so much more myself? I'd like to think that I could have instilled some of these tendencies in my children in any case, but I'll admit fully that first, they just have this sort of spirit, and second, our family situation has done a lot to encourage them to think of others because it's just a necessity to keep things running happily. It's one heck of a silver lining! And I'll totally take it. :) via Facebook
