Missed Opportunities
| The story is told of a young man who wished to marry the farmer's beautiful
daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission. The farmer looked him over
and responded,
"Son, go stand out in that field and I'm going to release three bulls, one at
a time. If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls you can marry my
daughter." The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the first bull. The barn door opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking bull he had
ever seen. |
|
He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better choice than this
one,
so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass through the pasture out
the back gate. The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so
big and fierce in his life. It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him.

Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice than this one.
He ran to the fence and let the bull pass through the pasture out the back
gate.
The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull. As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and jumped at
just the exact moment. He grabbed... but the bull had no tail!

Also pray for
us that God will give us an opportunity
to tell people His message."

"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all,
especially to those
who are of the household of faith."
