Pursuit Of The Ice Cream Truck

Moments that Motivate with Tim Lovelace

Many of us grew up when the ice cream truck roamed our neighborhoods playing music and ringing a bell that was music to our ears! I recall one day when I heard the truck go by, and I asked my mom if I could buy one of the seven cent banana popsicles. She said, “The ice cream
truck has already made the neighborhood loop.” What?! She continued, “It has already passed our house twice?” I told her I knew the truck always turned left on Second Avenue and asked if I could try to catch up to him on my bicycle. She agreed.
I grabbed my coins and jumped on my red bike. I was heading west on my aptly named Western Flyer. The truck made a couple of turns, but I was following the sound of the bell. I kept pursuing until he finally made a stop. I peddled up to the truck with one minute and seven cents
to spare. I purchased my popsicle and knew the Alabama sun would soon start melting it, so I sat down by the ditch, peeled back the thin, white paper and enjoyed the best popsicle in the world. With a popsicle-stained smile and sticky fingers on my handle bars, I slowly rode back home.
As adults, what are we pursuing? Are we chasing social media trends? Are we racing after money or notoriety? Are we trying to follow someone else's dream for us? Better yet, WHO are we pursuing? In Jeremiah 29, God says, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Don’t let this moment pass you by.
