SIGNS

Signs are very helpful in life... in many ways. And when we fail to recognize or see signs that are trying to tell us something for our benefit, we often times experience the consequences of that in some way. 

For example. 

This week I headed to Toronto with two lovely friends to enjoy a night out of good food and baseball. First we headed out for dinner at Grand Electric, and then we proceeded to go to Junked Food Co. for their famous "Cookie Dough Cones". They happen to be on the same street just a kilometre or so a part. We still had time left on our parking pass, so I simply pulled into a parking space a little closer to our Cookie Dough Cones. We hopped out and excitedly ran in for our sugar fix. Being no more than 15 minutes, we ventured back to my car, and it was gone. 

It was one of those moments where you are in shock. Like what happened?! In the matter of 15 minutes my car totally disappears. How can that even happen?

You see, I had failed to see a sign a block away from my car, that in that particular section of the street, there was no parking before 7:00 PM. And if you did, it was an automatic tow. 

Sometimes in life, it seems like we are keeping things above water, "we have our car" and then the next minute, it has totally disappeared and we are left stranded. But all the while, there was a sign right in front of us that was communicating a message to help us avoid a problem, or in this case, a tow. 

What are the signs in your life trying to communicate something to you to help you? It's best to recognize those now, before you realize you're car has been towed.
