Urban legend has it (no this is not a true story but it is a good one) that a teenage girl entered a Haagen-Dazs ice cream parlor in the Kansas City Plaza for an ice-cream cone.

While she was ordering, another customer entered the store. The teenager turned and found herself staring face to face with Taylor Swift who was in town. Her eyes and rosy red cheeks made the teenagers’ knees buckle.

She finished paying and quickly walked out of the store with her heart still pounding. Gaining her composure she suddenly realized she didn’t have her cone; she turned to go back in.

At the door she met Taylor Swift who was coming out. Swift said to her, “Are you looking for your ice-cream cone?” Unable to utter a word she nodded yes. “You put it in your purse with your change.”

When was the last time the presence of God made YOU forget what was going on around you? Made YOU forget the dishes? Made YOU forget the ball game? Made YOU forget the bank account? Made YOU forget where…YOU put your ice cream cone?

LEAVE ROOM FOR GOD TO SEND YOU ON DETOURS, BECAUSE THE BLESSINGS MAY COME ON THE PATHS THAT YOU DIDN’T EXPECT!
