A young man asks his father for a new car. His father tells him that if he graduates from college with a high GPA, he would buy him a new car. After a couple of years, the young man graduates Magna Cum Laude and proudly brings the news to his father. He then receives a bible from his father as a graduation present. He is furious because his father didn't buy him the new car that he had promised. He moved out of the city and lost contact with his family for many years.
One day he received the news that his father passed away. He decided to attend the funeral just to be supportive of his mother. When he arrived at the funeral home, his mother asked if he still had the bible his father gave him as a present. He remembered that he had thrown the bible in the trunk of the car after he stormed out of the house on that fateful day. His mother asked him to get the bible from the car and open it in one of the psalms. As he brought the bible to his mother, he found the check his father wrote him to buy his new car.
Food for thought!
