A rabbi once asked a prominent member of his congregation, “Whenever I see you, you’re always in a hurry. Tell me, where are you running all the time?” The man answered, “I’m running after success, I’m running after fulfillment, I’m running after the reward for all my hard work.” The rabbi responded, “That’s a good answer if you assume that all those blessings are somewhere ahead of you, trying to elude you and if you run fast enough, you may catch up with them. But isn’t it possible that those blessings are behind you, that they are looking for you, and the more you run, the harder you make it for them to find you?” Isn’t it possible indeed that God has all sorts of wonderful presents for us – good food and beautiful sunsets and flowers budding in the spring and leaves turning in the fall and quiet moments of sharing – but we in our pursuit of happiness are so constantly on the go that He can’t find us at home to deliver them?
