How does it feel to want? - Dad

It feels bloody fantastic to want.  Whenever I say I want something, my dad hits me with the how does it feel to want? question.  Well, it feels amazing. You know why? When you want something so bad that you work for it, it makes it all that much more amazing when you get it.  I heard a kid in the store the other day say he wanted a toy, and his mom said; why? It will just end up on your floor and you'll never touch it again. It's true. That's how people are on general principal; and it's the same with faith, I'm afraid to say. You want to be a better Christian, but you don't try hard enough to get it, so it makes it boring very quick. So, if you ask me, the wanting is what makes it so much more amazing.

Wednesday, we were talking about how it feels when you get everything you want.  Well, the story was about someone named Tripp Bailey and his best friend.  It's about how Tripp is famous, but his friend is just...there. The particular lesson was how Tripp got 50 pairs of shoes in different colors, and how his friend was jealous, wondering how Tripp could take it with a "devil may care" attitude. Well, later, his friend finds out that Tripp donated everything, because he had everything he wanted, why clutter life with more?

So yeah. It feels really good to want. ^_~
