Opportunities

 

The story is about a young man who wished to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask for his permission.

The farmer looked at him 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 and waited for 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 should be a better choice than this one. Hence, he ran over to the side and let the bull pass through the pasture out the back gate.

The barn door opened again. It was 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 would 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!

Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of, some will be difficult. However, once we let them pass, (often in the hope of something better) those opportunities may never be available again.

May you take advantage of the doors God opens for you today!
