If you remember from my previous post, our car is waiting to be repaired. My poor little car is sitting all alone in the parking lot at work. I'm just hoping it is still there unharmed each morning. During this time I rented a vehicle. Being that I called enterprise last minute (they picked me up here at my house!) they only had a big Ram truck. E was so excited to take the truck to church tonight. So here is one of the conversations we had on the way to church tonight.
E - I like how small this back seat is. I can almost touch you.
Me (reaching back and taking her hand) - I like it too Bug.
E - You should buy a truck like this Daddy
Me - How would I pay for it? Are you going to help me buy it with the money in your piggy bank?
E - No, you can buy it with the money your get from work.
Me - You won't help buy Daddy a truck?
E - No, I want to keep my money. At least until I'm big, like 11, then I'll use it to buy things.
We had a quick lesson on money. The basics of saving, spending, and generosity. She is so smart! We talked about giving to people who need it and how we give each month to church and missionaries as obedience to God. We talked about how all money is really God's money and we just get to use it as He directs.
She really seems to grasps things well at such a young age. I do worry about the things she hears and the responsibility I gave to guard her ears, her mind, and her heart. This world is evil and dark so often, I want to protect her as long as I possibly can. I want to be here for her and have more of these amazing conversations. I can't wait for B to be old enough to have these types of conversations as well. Regardless, this evening has made me think about my children. Tonight, it's for them that I am going to lose my butter half.
