Stuff, Bling, Houses, Cars: True enjoyment never comes from stuff but what you do with it. You can’t possess a child’s love like a car, but must earn it. Use stuff for the betterment of others and wrap their joy and happiness around you like a blanket. I use this example: I took Jake to Super Bowl XL. It was my first and his too! Jake was 12. He loved it. Me, I loved watching him watch the game. I have long since forgotten the game, but not Jake’s joy. It still warms me.
