A man was walking down the road with his 8 year old son. As they were walking, they heard the sounds of a dog whining. They looked around and they saw a big brown dog whining loudly.

The boy, intrigued and concerned asked his father, “Dad, why is that dog making those noises?”
“It’s whining, my son, because it is in pain,” replied the father.
“But why is it in pain?”, asked the son.

“That’s because it’s sitting on a nail”, observed the father.
“If it’s sitting on a nail, why doesn’t it just get up and walk away?”, asked the son, now even more puzzled.
“It will, when the pain is severe enough”, replied the father and they walked on.

Questions for you:
What pain are YOU dealing with?
What nails are YOU sitting on?
When will YOU move on?
