How right it was for us to pull our children away from activities in which they excelled when their character was not yet strong.  And how little we knew then about God’s ways.  We began to replace our old activities with ministry opportunities, such as taking food to the needy and visiting nursing homes.  What a difference we began to sense in our children (and in us).  Our focus, and later, our children’s focus, began to shift from “What will we get/learn/earn from this activity?” to “What can we give to this person?” or “How can we be a part of the solution?”  From Children of Character.

"At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made or how many great things we have done.  We will be judged by, “I was hungry and you gave me to eat.  I was naked and you clothed me.  I was homeless and you took me in.”  Hungry not only for bread, but hungry for love.  Naked not only for clothing, but naked of human dignity and respect...This is Christ in distressing disguise."  Mother Teresa
