You have heard the stories. Someone shows up on your front door and asks to buy your home, sight unseen for double the value. This actually happened to someone that I know. A helicopter landed in the street in front of their house and someone offered them over a million dollars for their home. They sold their house and moved.
So I have this secret thought that one day someone is going to just randomly offer to buy something at twice the value. Come on, its a good story.
So last week I was wearing a Royals jersey. So many jerseys are time sensitive. They have colors that are out of date or a player's name that is no longer with the team. This jersey is just generic. Dark royal blue, no number, no name. It's cool. I like it.
So I am leaving a restaurant and this person comes up to me and wants to buy it. "How much for your jersey? I will buy it right now." I shook my head. They insisted. They would make me a good offer. I shook my head and walked away.
I don't know why, it only cost $35, but I don't think I would sell it for $200. I guess that there are just some things that you can't put a price on. There are some things that money just can't buy.
The one time in my life when someone wants to randomly buy something that I own and I turn them down. For some reason, I feel good about that. Money isn't everything.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

I would have bought this story except for the fact that the subject was a Royals shirt. You've got to come up with a better one than that. ; )
Love this...so true. Money can't bring the same enjoyment that favorite things can. Money is just money.
