Hey, this is Dean Soto founder of freedom in five minutes.com and
Pro Sulum.com, P-R-O-S-U-L-U-M.com and we're here with another
freedom in five minutes podcast episode. Today's topic is this,
every little thing is provided for you, that and more coming
up.
Well, good morning from beautiful Huntington Beach, California. On
travel, gonna be speaking at some WeWorks down here in Newport
Beach, Irvine, Irvine, at Irvine Spectrum and yeah, it is a great
morning. It’s about 9 o’clock so everyone is done with the public
school rush. That’s crazy, it’s, it’s, it’s, the, I’d almost
forget. Sometimes the, you know, we did a homeschooling thing and
so, so there’s certain times that you don’t wanna be out in about.
One of those times is when you’re in a public school or actually,
when everyone is taking their kids to school and it’s only, it’s on
really a rush hour in the morning and there’s this car who’s going
all over the place so you can barely, barely even do a podcast coz
they’re just constantly driving by.
Anyway, I don’t know why we’re on that hinget. So, so Monday, I
spent the day, took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese. Little education
field trip there, Chuck E. Cheese. Make them do some economic
business and different things that going, you know get tickets and
spend, consume and produce, consume and produce, let’s go, let’s
go, let’s get the skills up, right? They can, they can have some
fun, get some tickets and then get a reward. How creative, how
creative and then when you have add five of them, five of them at
the time. So all those five had to barter and trade and see who was
gonna do, who’s gonna get what at the very end. So I, so, so the
reason why we’re down there is we went, we were gonna go to a, we
were gonna go to the Pumpkin Patch and we got to the Pumpkin Patch
around 1:30 pm and the guy said, even though the Pumpkin Patch was
open, the guy said that the rides at the Pumpkin Patch were not
available till about 3 or 3:30 at the latest. And so had to figure,
we’re down, we’re down the city anyway. It takes about 45 minutes
to get there and so I wasn’t gonna just sit there and wait for 2
hours, right?
Well, so I’ve decided, hey, let’s go to Chuck E. Cheese. So, we
went to Chuck E. Cheese, had a, had a blast there and then we went
to the Pumpkin Patch. Now, my oldest boy, Zoren, he, he really
wanted to go on the first when we, when we finally got back to the
Pumpkin Patch. I mean he has been talking about it for the last 2
weeks every time. He’s like, oh there’s the Ferris wheel, there’s
the Ferris wheel, oh I love the Ferris wheel, Ferris wheel, Ferris
wheel. And so, I got, every ride there is one ticket and I believe
it’s like $4 per ride or something like that or $2 per ride.
Anyway, whatever it was I got, I got enough for all 5 of them to do
5 rides. They had a big, big slide, they had airplane, little
airplane things for the kids. The little cars that go around. They
had the Ferris wheel. They had a couple of other bigger, big, more
big rides and so it, none of the, the little, the, the thing that I
didn’t really account for was me. I did not buy tickets for myself
and I totally forgot that they, they were not going to let my kids
go on the Ferris wheel without me being present, at least the
younger 3 that I had and then my older 2, my, my, my older daughter
was not wanting to go on the Ferris wheel because cos it’s was just
soaring, cos she’s scared. So all that being said, due to as
complications in who went on what rides, we did not have enough
tickets to go on the Ferris wheel together and Zoren, super, I mean
he was so good. He was, he was disappointed, obviously but he
wasn’t throwing a tantrum or anything like that. But you can tell,
he was just extremely, extremely disappointed. And so, so I was
like, what do I do. We literally have no more tickets. So, we have
like, I wanna say we have like 3, 3 tickets left. So I gave those
tickets to my younger kids. They went on some, some of the younger
rides and we literally had zero tickets left and they also found,
they also met this one girl named Brooke who, who was the cousin of
one of the ride operators and she give, she, she had her own
tickets and so they were going on some rides with her and. And so,
this, long and the short is, we basically had no tickets, and
Brooke had no tickets either and there was just. It’s just, the
Ferris wheel was not gonna happen. And my son, Zoren was highly
disappointed. Super, super disappointed. So caveat before you freak
out. I am Christian and so I believe that God wants to give us good
things all the time and no matter how, how small or insignificant
it might be because he is everywhere at every point in time and he
is a good father, he wants us to have a good time. Just like any
good father would. The, so I’m like, in my, my, in my mind, I’m
like dude, Lord alright, alright Lord if you want, if you want us,
then if you want Zoren to go on the, the Ferris wheel, you’re gotta
have to make it happen cos I’m not gonna go back and spend with, I
mean we’d just spend a ton of money at Chuck E. Cheese. We just
spend a ton of money with, with the, the Pumpkin Patch and I’m
just, I’m just not gonna go, you know, I’m not gonna go do that,
cos we can always wait till next week, when the rest of the kids
cos 2 of my other kids can’t go because they were sick. We could
always wait till next week.
Well, about 5 minutes later, mind you, this is for 7 people if I’m
including myself. 5 minutes later, we’re standing next to the
Ferris wheel, Zoren comes up to me and says, hey, look dad I found
2 tickets and they were these yellow tickets and, and the tickets
we had were white. And I’m thinking, Oh, maybe those won’t work but
I’ve looked up and I saw people holding yellow tickets now so that
must be that could do tickets that they, they had. He found 2
tickets that were on the ground, just sitting there, that’s 2
tickets. About a minute later I guy comes over to my, my oldest
daughter and or not my oldest daughter, my older, my older daughter
that was there, second oldest daughter. Comes over to her, says hey
we’re, we’re gonna go, we don’t need this anymore, there’s 4
tickets. So that’s 6 tickets but we also have Brooke, right? So,
the, Brooke is, is, is hanging out with us and I don’t it, like I’m
looking at her and I’m like, wow, we have enough tickets for our
family. We haven’t enough tickets for you and so I felt bad. I’m
like yeah, I’m not gonna like that for, that would be pretty messed
up and. And then so, Genevieve looks down on the ground and sees a,
just a, a ticket with a tiny piece ripped off of it. Looks down on
the ground and finds that out of all places, grabs it. We have 7
tickets. We’re all able to go on to the Ferris wheel, all of us.
So, it was 3 in one cart and 4 in the, just 3 in one cart and 4 in
the other, and had a blast.
And so, why is this important? Well, you know, whether your
Christian or not, whether you believed in God or not, you know, He
exists. And He cares about you and loves you and wants to provide
for you. Just like a good father provides for his sons and
daughters. And, and even in the little things, cos the first thing
I thought about it, in my mind, I’m like, why would God even care
about this. This is so like, really well why would God care about
this? Because to Him and I know this is, this is not a full
business thing, but, it’s not a business topic but it really is.
Like it, this is, this is part of the spirituality side of things,
right? You know, you have your body, you have your health, you have
your business and you have your family and then you have your
spirituality, right? So, and if you don’t have that, you’re just a
one, one-dimensional guy or one-dimensional girl. And so, I’m like,
why is He care about this? Like, that, that was a temptation,
right? Why does he care about this? When He could worried about
other things. Well, He’s everywhere at the same time. So, to Him,
when He’s with you, doing stuff. He, as, as if you’re the only one
who exists and, and anybody else that is around the world, it’s
just that as if they’re the only one who exists and it matters to
Him for whatever reason. So, just go with it, just go with it.
There are times where we struggle, that He, that He seems like He’s
far away. There’s times when, when we’re, when, like this, where we
seems like He’s really close for whatever reason. I don’t know
exactly why but that’s just the way it is and so it’s important
because when you realize that someone actually cares about you, and
wants, and wants the best for you, it makes a world of difference.
Especially when that person is the creator of the entire world and
the entire universe.
