A child's heart- What means most?

The other day I was talking with my Dad, and then I asked him "Dad, do you know what my greatest childhood memory is?". Not to my surprise, he said "No, what is it?" I told him it was the memory of riding with him in the truck to collect his paycheck. He was completely shocked. He asked "How? Why would it be that? Didn't you like the other things we did like going to the lake, baseball, etc.?" I simply replied "It's just the one that meant the most to me". That did get me thinking though..Do we really understand what our children are seeking from us? They want something money cannot buy, and that is our TIME. It's a relationship that demands contributed time and energy. If you are forsaking time with your children to buy them more "things" maybe there is a better way.
