The This is

This is 15 minutes to freedom. I'm your host Ryan Eidell and today's episode is Children's Books.

Today's episode I'm gonna share with you an insightful lesson into our youth after shopping for a Christmest gift for Gianna. So I'm recording this Christmas Eve and admittedly I'm a last minute shopper.

Procrastinator in some capacities not all that focused.

However you want to look at it, right?

We're all in the process of progress and Lord knows when it comes to shopping for people,

I'm in my own process, almost consistently.

And so I've gotten Gianna a few gifts. She now

doesn't believe in Santa Claus so she knows her coming from us. And as I get

done meditating this morning and get done journal you know, journaling and doing the things that I do, it dawned on me that I should get her a book.

But not just any book. I don't want to share a little backstory. So my father came to town sometime

in the past 10 days. And Gianna's birthday is just a week before Christmas.

So he came to town right around her birthday and

She's at a unique age where between having grandparents that love her and her father that loves her and

Lindy and I that love her as we ask her what she wants for Christmas

she literally doesn't have anything.

It's not one of these kids situations,

it's she truly doesn't have anything

that she you know we speak to her friends around her and like what do you want for Christmas and they share it and she already has it at one of her parents house

And so as I shared that with my dad he said said, well, what am I going to get her?

I don't want to get her a gift card.

So I don't know, give her cash, right?
