Chasing The Wrong Thing

CHASING THE WRONG THING

Have you ever chased after something only to find out when you reached it, it was the wrong thing? It could be a job, a relationship, etc.. Well, you are not alone. All of us probably felt as if we followed the wrong “Yellow Brick Road.” Unlike Dorothy, when we got to the Wizard of Oz he didn’t help us AT ALL. Today’s story is kind of like that.

One time we were visiting my sister. It was a hot summer day in California and my Dad saw an ice cream van go by. My Dad loved ice cream (I admit, I do too). So he yelled for the van to stop, but it kept going. So here is this old man chasing down this ice cream truck in traffic. Finally, it halted at a red light. Dad came up huffing and puffing trying to get his breath to give his order. He looked up and saw this on the side of the van: Florist. The driver quickly rolled up his window and took off. Wouldn't you? We could hardly contain ourselves but we had to. My dad came back red-faced and we couldn’t tell if it was from the heat or embarrassment!

The moral of the story is, “Be sure to read before you run.” :)

Have a good week and remember...

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who like Dr. Pepper and those who don’t.
