I was at a store yesterday. Well, not any store – one that was construction related. Which is where my mind has been these last few months.
A new tape measure was on my mind. The current tape measure was broken and become difficult to handle.
There in front of me was a measure on sale. Half price. But the only one left was covered in drywall and the measure itself had been used. I thought this might be a return. I was able to buy the measure for a discounted price.
My mind was probably way too innocent. Upon arriving at our construction site, one person mentioned that this had probably been an exchange. Instead of buying a new measure, a thief had exchanged the tape measure for a new one (generally called shoplifting!).
I’m not asking what circumstance in life caused the person to make a switch. I am asking why someone would consider that right. Where was their heart at?
