A short Story

It is the month of September, the 9th month in the year 2024...

Many people died in the past months, some left their houses but never returned, and some lost their loved ones, but here we are, surviving!

It is not by our doing but by the Grace of the creator of Heaven and earth, The giver of Life.

Looking back to the beginning of this year, I thank God for still being among the living because I had this terrible sickness that almost took my life and this made me realize life is short and must be lived well...

Life is too short to postpone things, don't postpone to show love to your family and people around you. Let me tell you a story.

A boy was born into a poor family, his parents did their best to care for him and his siblings, and they didn't mind going hungry as long as their children were fed... The boy grew up with a resolution to help his family out of poverty.

At a tender age, he started working hard and God blessed all his endeavors, he began earning well but it still was not enough to elevate his family, so he did not spend what he had nor did he give it out, instead he kept saving up that money and years pass, he still does not have enough to eradicate the poverty in his lineage, time pass his father died and he was so sad that the father did not enjoy before his death and barely a week after, his mother died too because she could not get over the death of her husband.

The man was saddened, the people he was working so hard for are now dead and he didn't fulfill his promise, He realized there was not enough time to earn the amount needed to elevate poverty so he changed his mindset, instead of waiting till he earns a very big amount to make his family rich, why not shower love on them with the little he had so he started to send money to his siblings, they were also able to use the money he gave them to start up a business which made them successful.

He regrets not doing that sooner, his parent would have enjoyed the fruit of their labour but it was too late.

He Eradicated the poverty in his Lineage but it was in a way that he didn't expect because if he had kept saving, he would have kept saving till they all died but after showing the others love, they were all able to do it together...

This story teaches us to give time and shower love on our loved ones, we do not need to become Bill Gate before we help our family, you don't need to have a bank full of money before you help those around you, all the little things you do for them also matters.
