A Great Investment

A long time ago I made a deal with my kids. This deal has cost me a lot of money. I told them that I would buy them any Christian CD they wanted. Actually, I look at it as an investment not an expense.

I found out along the way that I liked a lot of the same music they do - so it gives us a good way to grow together.

We also spend a lot of money on Christian fiction. My children have inherited a love for reading. Again - we see it as an investment and not an expense. There is a lot of good Christian fiction for all ages!

Now, any "secular" music and books - well, they are on their own! There is some good "secular" stuff out there too! I've been known to crank some tunes (everything from CCR, Guess Who, to Alison Kruass and Ricky Skaggs). - in my day. If the truth be known, in our car its the kids who tell me to turn it down!

And yes, we listen to Acappella, Zoe and all that stuff as well.

What kind of investments are you making in your kids?
