Tripp’s Travels
Every year Tripp traveled north to visit his family for the holidays, and each year that he visited-his family had gifts waiting for him. Now Tripp didn’t visit his family for the gifts, Tripp visited out of his love for them and desired to spend time with them. But one year, Tripp was having a difficult time financially and he said to himself, “I will go north to visit my family and they will have gifts waiting for me. Then I will sell them and get myself out of debt.”
But that year when Tripp traveled north to see his family, no one had anything of value for him.
