After finishing his morning prayer time and meditations, a man walks out of his hut praising God for the precious time spent with his Savior, only to discover he is being stalked by a tiger. He runs. Now, the man knows a few shortcuts through the wilderness but certainly not enough to outwit and out run this cat. He soon comes to the edge of a cliff and realizes that only sharp, jagged cliffs await him down below, but wait, there is a vine. He scurries down the vine as the tiger licks his chops above. Just then, when he thought all that could go wrong has gone wrong, two mice show up on the scene and begin their tasty nibbling on the vine. As the man shakes his head in exasperation, he notices right in front of him a small bunch of strawberries growing out from the side of the cliff. He reaches out, grabs the biggest one, and eats it. Lost in the moment, he honestly replies, "that was the best strawberry I ever had."
Not distracted by the past (the tiger), the present (the mice), or even the future (cliffs below), he savors the present moment. All is gift. God is good. Got strawberry?
