The Story Teller

One day, a fashionable woman entered an equally fashionable store in search of a new pair of sandals. She put hers off  and tried the first pair she found nice enough. It didn’t fit, so she put it back in the rack. She got another pair and put it on. It fit, but she didn’t like the style. She got another pair, but she didn’t like the color. She got another pair, but it was too high. She got another pair, but it was too low. She got another, and another, and another.. But she didn’t find anything she likes.

She was about to leave when she noticed a nice pair of sandals at the far end of the rack near the door. She liked the style and she surely liked the color. She put it on. Alas! It fit and it felt so nice to her feet. She asked the manager how much it cost and was surprised when the manager said it doesn’t cost anything. She asked why that was and the manager answered..

‘Because it is yours. It was the pair of sandals you wore when you came. You took it off before you tried the new sandals..’

The woman left the store with a big smile in her lips.

Hers, after all, was the perfect pair of sandals, right style, right color, and felt good to her feet..

Sometimes, we feel that we deserve things better than what we have, better job, better house, better spouse, when actually GOD gave the BEST for us.
