Spit it out, buddy!

We met a little boy in the pool today named Albert and he was quite high maintenance, but a cute little guy…6 years old. He was very talkative and inquisitive, so we started asking him questions in return, and asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He quickly responded, “I want to be a rich man.” Wow! Not what any of us were expecting! So after some laughter, we asked him if that would make him happy and he said “yes”, so we asked how being rich would make him happy. Here’s a little 6 year old just swinging around in the water “ummm”-ing and “hmmm”-ing away trying to think of a response, so Tawnee jokingly said, “Spit it out, buddy….spit it out!”, and Albert turned away and spit into the pool! Haha….so funny!

1 John 2:17 says, “The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.” And I’m convinced that we are on earth for such a short time that in the grand scheme of things, money, fame, and prestige don’t matter…the only thing that matters is bringing glory to God. I hope Albert agrees when he “grows up”!
