Is your kid hoarding toys and refusing to share?
Does “I want more!” happen every time you go to a store?
You’re not raising a selfish kid – you’re raising a kid
who hasn’t learned the secret yet:
Generous hearts are the richest hearts of all.
Let’s fix this today. 👇
⚡ Quick Parent Tip
Your Kid Just Got Birthday Money/New Toys And Is Hoarding Them All.
Say This: “I’m so glad you got [gift]! You know what
makes people truly rich? Not keeping everything for
themselves, but sharing with others. Let’s think of
someone we could share with.”
Then Do This: Help them pick ONE item to share/donate
this week. Talk about how good it feels to be generous.

Welcome, Faith Force Generous Hearts!
Today, we’re learning the secret to being truly rich, as shared in 1 Timothy 6:17-19.
Verse Of The Day:
"Don't be proud of your stuff or think having lots of things will make you happy. Instead, be rich in kindness! Be generous and love to share. That's how you store up real treasure that lasts forever." (1 Timothy 6:17-19, kid-friendly version)
Have you ever seen a kid with a room full of toys but who won’t share a single one? Or maybe you know someone who has everything but still seems unhappy?
Here’s God’s secret: Having lots of stuff doesn’t make you rich – being generous does!
God says don’t trust that your toys and stuff will make you happy, because things can break, get lost, or get boring. But “be rich in good deeds” and “generous and willing to share” – THAT creates treasure that lasts forever!
Think about it: When you share your toys, help others, and give things away, something amazing happens – you feel MORE rich, not less! That’s because true treasure isn’t what you keep in your toy box, but what you give away with a happy heart.
Real Life Example: Imagine two kids:
- Kid #1 has 100 toys but never shares. Plays alone. Gets bored. Wants MORE.
- Kid #2 has 20 toys but shares them with friends. Has fun together. Feels generous and happy!
Who’s really richer? Kid #2! Because generous hearts are the richest hearts of all.
My Generous Heart Sharing Plan:
Get a shoebox and decorate it as your “Treasure Box.” But here’s the twist – instead of keeping treasures IN it, this box is for treasures going OUT!
Each week, put ONE item in your box to give away:
- A toy for a donation center
- Snacks to share with friends
- Art supplies for your sibling
- Money for someone in need
Label your box: “True Treasure = Generous Giving”
Track your giving for a month and watch your TRUE treasure grow!
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, help us understand that being generous makes us truly rich! When we want to keep everything for ourselves, remind us that sharing creates real treasure. Give us generous hearts that love to share what You've given us. Amen.
Keep building real treasure through sharing, Faith Force Generous Hearts! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that generous hearts are the richest hearts of all!
