"Things aren’t always what they seem, are they?"

 Some friends vacationed in Cancun, Mexico one summer. Now the wife is a real planner and is always on the look-out for great Christmas gifts. So never mind it was summer time when they were in Cancun, she shopped for Christmas presents anyway.

 Her sister-in-law loves cooking, especially baking. Knowing this, my friend got really excited when she spotted a huge bottle of “Pure Mexican Vanilla Flavoring” on the shelf of a duty-free shop. She bought it, took it home with her, and when Christmas came, she wrapped it carefully, still excited about this perfect gift for her sister-in-law.

 So the big day came and her sister-in-law opened the “Pure Mexican Vanilla Flavoring” and she was all excited about it and handed it to her husband to see. He turned the bottle over, looked on the back, and said, “Hey, it says here, ‘Made in Florida.’”

 Things aren’t always what they seem, are they? Whether its “Pure Mexican Vanilla Flavoring” or anything else in life, remember, God can be trusted to be God.
