Sanjay's latest addiction is cars or caai - that's how he fondly calls these toys. It all started some months ago when a friend gifted Sanjay an Obama car. Sanjay figured out how to open the doors, remove the tires, break the flag and store little pieces of snack inside the car. It's his favorite toy. Also his cousins threw him a car themed birthday party.
He woke up today morning and couldn't find his Obama caai. We searched everywhere but in vain. After hearing him scream "caai" like a million times since morning, we decided to take him to target to find a caai. He was in caai heaven for a while when he saw so many caais. He chose one but wasn't happy with it. Later we went to Costco and found a pack of caais. He was so happy. He went to bed hugging one of his new caais.
And I looked at him and said a prayer, 'Lord, thank you for Sanjay's interest in caais. I hope he grows up learning to break these little caais and put them back together. I hope caais continue to inspire him. But when he becomes an adult please give him wisdom that caai is just a means of transportation from point A to point B. Even if you choose to bless him financially, teach him that he could do so many good things with your blessings instead of being fixated on luxury caais. Amen'
"Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content." - 1 Timothy 6:6-8
