Real Life Love Stories
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!
