Something I remember was back during my single days. I went months without a date and was always on the lookout for “Mr. Right.” Talking to a couple of guys who definitely weren’t “Mr. Right”, I glanced at their feet. One of them had on these really unusual sandals. Of course, I had to know where he got them, and it was at a local sporting goods store. But there was something about those sandals…I remember looking at them and thinking, “When is he ever going to get here?” As I looked at those sandals, an overwhelming longing for that special someone I’d always wanted but never found almost brought me to my knees.

About a year later, I met that special someone. Guess who he was? The owner of the sporting goods store that sold those sandals!
