A funny thing happened on the way to the Ferrari shop..ugh...I mean school.

 

We used to live in the city and we drove past a Ferarri shop everyday to primary school. My son (who was 5 at the time) asked me a very serious question." Mum how much is a red Ferrari?" I winced and tried my best..."oh its very expensive." He replied "like $10, maybe even $100?" I laughed and said "Oh no. More like many, many thousands of dollars." He didn't quite understand so I said, "It's almost half of one of those little houses over there." (pointing at a little old cottage.) He looked a bit perplexed and then went silent. 

 

After a few minutes he grew a huge grin in the rear vision mirror and piped up saying" How about a blue one?!" 

​

We all know that the colour of the Ferrari doesn't make it go faster (even if we think it might)  but what I loved about my son's question was that he tried to find a way around any obstacle that was put before him with such faith and hope. 

​

Let's do what's best for our communities and then allow the Holy Spirit to do the heavy lifting or the colour choosing!
