A few weeks back an older lady in our church, Margo, was not feeling her best. My husband was at a Bible Study small group, but due to it being a busy week compiled with a nasty sickness making its rounds, there were only 2 in attendance. Because the numbers were low, Michael and the other guy went out to eat instead and decided to pay a visit to our friend from church, taking her a bouquet of ‘get well’ flowers. When they got to her apartment, she was not there. She had gone to the grocery store for some dinner. Being rather goofy, they decided to sign the card in an unusual manner, just for fun. The card’s inscription read: “My dearest Margo, So sorry that you are not feeling well. Get better soon. With all my love, Hugh Jackman.“
Now unbeknownst to the guys, at the same time at the Whole Foods grocery store in Louisville, here is the situation that was transpiring between our dear friend Margo and a random shopper. Margo had just finished making her selections and was carrying her goods to the checkout line. The man who was in line in front of Margo, saw her overly occupied hands and made way to let her go before him. To him, she turned around and expressed thanks, then looked at the man as if she had seen him before. She asked the man, “Has anyone ever told you that you look like Hugh Jackman?” The man told Margo that he received that comment ALL the time. They exchanged more pleasantries and then she left the grocery store.
She made a few stops along the way home and returned to find flowers on her doorstep! Imagine her alarm when she read the inscription and wondered how on earth the local Hugh Jackman lookalike shopper could have known where she lived?!?! She called Michael and wondered if she should be concerned. However, when Michael laughed about the situation and explained it to her, they enjoyed a hearty laugh! All was well.
So, the moral of this story is: If you think Hugh Jackman is stalking you, it may just be your well-wishing friends.
