Whether going to a chain location,
Or trying someplace new with familiar food
Every time, all the time, no matter where or when,
The Experience is Not the Same.
The place, time, personnel, and local climate
Make each event very unique
The menu or room description may equally paint the experience
But, as with each cleaning, something changes, always different.
That even includes if you go to the same place
Time after time, it remains the same,
But sources of goodies get changed and updated
Wait and kitchen staff get renewed
The learning curve is lengthened
And nothing is as identical as before.
That’s why the experience you expect
Must be open to the change you might find
Be okay with it. Don’t give up on them.
You’ve just sensed what the rest of us know.
Every experience is unique!
Only you can ensure you are working hard
To keep the situation status quo
Make sure you do your best each time
Can every experience be as before?
But wait! What’s that? The person coming to you.
Look! They’ve changed. They will expect you also
To adapt to the new generation
Yes. Every experience, including you and me, are very, very unique.
Judges 16:4-22 NKJV
Afterward it happened that he loved a woman
in the Valley of Sorek,
whose name was Delilah.
And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her,
“Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”
So Delilah said to Samson,
“Please tell me where your great strength lies,
and with what you may be bound to afflict you.”
And Samson said to her,
“If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried,
then I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”
So the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bowstrings,
not yet dried, and she bound him with them.
Now men were lying in wait,
staying with her in the room.
And she said to him,
“The Philistines are upon you, Samson!”
But he broke the bowstrings as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire.
So the secret of his strength was not known.
Then Delilah said to Samson,
“Look, you have mocked me and told me lies.
Now, please tell me what you may be bound with.”
So he said to her,
“If they bind me securely with new ropes that have never been used,
then I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”
Therefore Delilah took new ropes
and bound him with them,
and said to him,
“The Philistines are upon you, Samson!”
And men were lying in wait,
staying in the room.
But he broke them off his arms like a thread.
Delilah said to Samson,
“Until now you have mocked me and told me lies.
Tell me what you may be bound with.”
And he said to her,
“If you weave the seven locks of my head into the web of the loom”
— So she wove it tightly with the batten of the loom,
and said to him,
“The Philistines are upon you, Samson!”
But he awoke from his sleep,
and pulled out the batten
and the web from the loom.
Then she said to him,
“How can you say, ‘I love you,’
when your heart is not with me?
You have mocked me these three times,
and have not told me where your great strength lies.”
And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily
with her words and pressed him,
so that his soul was vexed to death,
that he told her all his heart,
and said to her,
“No razor has ever come upon my head,
for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb.
If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me,
and I shall become weak,
and be like any other man.”
When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart,
she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying,
“Come up once more,
for he has told me all his heart.”
So the lords of the Philistines came up to her
and brought the money in their hand.
Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees,
and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head.
Then she began to torment him,
and his strength left him.
And she said,
“The Philistines are upon you, Samson!”
So he awoke from his sleep, and said,
“I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!”
But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.
Then the Philistines took him
and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza.
They bound him with bronze fetters,
and he became a grinder in the prison.
However, the hair of his head began to grow again
after it had been shaven.
