DOG DRIVER – (Please make a comment if you liked my True Story)
“Pull that truck up into this lane! - - -
"I said - - pull that #%*$#*&$# truck over here!”
"I said - - pull that #%*$#*&$# truck over here!”
The officer at the truck weigh station was
cursing, yelling and pointing as he hollered directions at our U-Haul truck.
Robert had left the truck and went into the
small office to explain why his travel papers were missing. The permit had been left in error at the
last truck weighing stop.
The man inside was satisfied, and gave Robert a special letter of permission to continue on our journey back to
Robert sauntered out to the truck and entered
the driver’s side. He motioned for our
old hound dog who was riding with him, to move over and give him
room.
Slowly he pulled forward and the man directing traffic realized that our hound dog with the long floppy ears had been mistaken for a man with an aviator helmet on his head.
They both had a good laugh out of that. Now consider this - - -
Did you ever take a quick glance at a
situation and make up your mind and then discover later that what you thought
you saw was not that at all?
Some call that jumping to conclusions, and
others say it is making quick judgments without knowing all the facts.
That often happens to me when I go bargain
shopping and discover a better deal elsewhere after I have already made my
purchase.
When it comes to heaven, I am glad I am not on
the jury deciding the verdict of many people who I may consider to be ungodly.
It is said; when we get to heaven we may be
surprised to find some who we judged as sinners, actually made it and they may
look at us and wonder how we got in.

I am parked right outside my home considering the grasses and the earth which have seen it all!
ReplyDeleteThey may not be able to speak but they have tales to tell of the world and the secrets of sins it has seen.
Dear Aunt Hazel, that reminded me of how the world is going to pass away. The time is near. May we be found with our garments white and pure and ready for the Lord.
Hugs and blessings to you
You got me this time...I had no idea where this story was going and then...slapping my head...you make such a great point!
ReplyDeleteLove that story! Because we've all done it!
ReplyDeleteI also so believe that some of the folks that look the furthest from God are closer than some that look the part. Then again, only God can see the heart.
I laughed at this because there have been times when a waiter or waitress has come up behind me and say, "Afternoon, ladies", then look like they seen a ghost when they see my mug!
