“WATER!”
A tourist got separated from his tour group in the Sahara. He begged a passing nomad for water. “Sorry,” said the tribesman, “I have no water, but I do have some lovely neckties I’ll sell you.”
“You must be crazy,” the tourist mumbled. Nearly dead from thirst, he spied another man. “Water!” the tourist gasped. “Please, give me water.”
“I have no water,” came the reply, “only these handsome neckties, which I will happily sell you.”
The wretched tourist stumbled on until, to his surprise, he saw a grand hotel in the distance. Crawling into the foyer, he cried, “Please – give me water!”
“Sorry, sir,” the concierge replied. “We don’t let anyone in without a necktie.”
Could it be that the thing we’ve been rejecting in life is actually what God has sent to prepare us for the future?
