I had the best meal the other night…I got to take my wife to Outback…We had a giftcard…Don’t you love giftcards? You can go somewhere you probably would not otherwise go…..I think that may have been my 3rd time to ever go to Outback…Anyway, Linda and I had a nice meal…the bloomin’ onion thing…wow….One of those times you are glad your wife is eating onions too…you know we were on a date…and there was a good chance I was going to get to kiss her, eventually….Okay..TMI
When is the last time you got to use a gift card that someone had given you? Have you ever had one that you let expire?
God gave me a gift card when he sent Linda into my life 21 years ago and I am determined to use what He gave me and enjoy it while I can…. You never know when you might not have that special someone around anymore. God gave me a Dad for only 18 years…I am glad to say that I used the time I had with him as much as I think I could have. He gave me a mom for 33 years and I tried to use my time with her as well as I could.
God has given me a wonderful wife and 3 spectacular children…. Outside of my relationship with God, they are the most important things in my life. I will not let them stay in my wallet like a gift card that is forgotten about and never used…. I have credit, I have 4 gifts someone (God) gave me. I intend to use them as much as I can.
Saw a movie yesterday (Imagine That)with Karli (my 11 year old girl) and Linda and one of Karli’s friends. Eddie Murphy (a decent Eddie Murphy movie) was portraying a dad that did not have his family life in its proper perspective, but by the end of the movie..he realized that he had been given a gift…
I sure hope you have people in your life that you see as gifts….
So, if you are wanting to give away any gift cards, I like Outback…
