Greetings to you friends and welcome to my post. In this post I have shared a story of what happened long time ago in my village, during the time of pandemic.
Some years ago, there was a poor woman in a village called Woka in southern part of Nigeria. The woman used to stay in imperfect house that is built with mood with her 3 children's. Every blessed day the poor woman use to go to the next town closer to her village to search for work, but she was not getting any job that can take care of her and her children's. This was making her poorer every day. In other, for her and her children to eat, she will exchange some of her late husband properties in exchange for food.
At some point there was nothing at home for the woman to sell, she thought she would give away her daughters to some rich men in return for good money. After she has discussed her intention with her children, they disagreed with her and told her that everything would be alright. One of her daughters gave out some of her wears to her mother to sell, which she did, and the buyer gave them some money.
At some point, the woman could no longer bear the suffering, and she decided to sell her son to a very rich man. She took her son to a very big town and while she was crossing the road with her son they heard a noise of a person shouting for help and they both ran to see who the person was. It was a very rich man that got an accident on his way traveling. They ran to the man and help him, which he became so happy (excited) with them.
The rich man whom they help was pleased to listened to they story which he then offered a lot of money to the poor woman son and as well promise to open business for the poor woman as her son saved his life. The rich man was a commissioner of agriculture in the state. He gave the poor boy a job in his office. The poor woman became so happy and was feeling guilty at the same time because her son whom she was about selling was the one that brings blessings and changes the poor narrative of the family.

The lessons I have learned in that particular story is that we should always look towards the positive side of our life than always looking at the negative side when things are not going well. In life we can face some critical situation where all hope are gone based on how things are going wrong, because every situation has a silver lining.

The story that you told about the poor lady and her children is really interesting. If we apply it in a real and a practical life and apply it in our life then we can understand that how much is gives difficult situation to spend this kind of life in which we have to live hand to mouth. We cannot imagine this kind of life for a minute. Msy Allah protect us all from this situations.

Dear friend you shared a story literally i started weeping to read it.
The women was poor and not getting work inspite of her all efforts she becomes poor and poorly with every passing day.
Although it was not so easy even she decided to sold her daughter for money and food. But Allah has decided something different for her.
Even after selling cloth she couldn't run family and decided to sold son for money.
Still there was different in her fate the help of rich man in trouble showed that she has soft heart for others. In this good deed rich man gave her money and business setup how beautiful it was.
She became rich and gave us lesson try to bear pains with patience a day is your and its not far from you.
Blessings!!!!!

There's always something good that can be found in a bad situation. We shouldn't be over clouded by bad situations instead we should try and see something good out of it. Thanks for inviting me
Thank you so much for reading through my post.
Certainly all the difficult situations we face bring a glimmer of Hope, but we are so overwhelmed that many times we don't see it, so we have to stop in the middle of the crisis to take a deep breath and study the whole panorama and be able to see that Little light in the darkness.
very good example friend gives us.
Greetings and blessings!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by.
