Last night as my wife, my daughter and I were driving home from Dora the Explorer Live, I started to think about the old adage about if someone was to look at you checkbook they could tell a lot about you, and Jesus saying, where your treasure is there your heart is also. We dropped $60+ dollars on these Dora tickets in the highest section (which turned out to be pretty good seats) and we’ve taken our daughter to Universal Orlando to see Barney before she grew out of him. I say all this to ask the question is there even the smallest amount of money you spend, spent on you children? I’m not wealth by any means and $60 bucks is four family meals at Wendy’s when we all splurge and get what we want, it can be quite a few pairs of pants and shirts on sale, its bills paid or gas in our gas eating SUV, or it could be around 522 songs from allofmp3.com. But we think our daughter is important and should be shown by the fact that we are willing to spend money on her even when its not a holiday or birthday. Just because. And my conclusion last night as they both slept on the drive home was it was very worth it to see her beam and laugh and sing along and I can’t wait till the next time we do something like that.
(on a side note it felt like we those families they show on the Wiggles or Doodle Bops at the shows, kinda weird but tons of fun)
