"NEVER FAIL THE HUMANITY TEST"
Have you ever helped a stranger and everything starts to fall into place for you? It is a hard choice but even the Holy books reckon with helping strangers as well as the motherless, fatherless and orphans. Many of these strangers are not human but angels on assignments!
Justin is a 22years old college dropout, averagely smart and intelligent but with a twist of luck and destiny; he was rendered an orphan with his little sister Abby at a tender age. The family was involved in an auto crash when Justin was just six and Abby two years old. Father died instantly and mother went into a coma for three years before she later joined her husband "In the life beyond."
Life is good, but not very fair to some people, especially kids without parents nor guidance; to them, life is totally a harsh one. To some of us who have tasted the harsh side of life, it would be of uttermost importance to try and help the fatherless, motherless and orphans around us if the opportunity is given unto us!
As a young Adult, Justin and Abby had grown up with some distant aunt, most times foster parents do not have all the capacity to take absolute care of their foster kids. Naturally, a mother and father's love could never be compared to any other type of love. Justin and his lil sister got a tiny bit of such love from their foster mom. It was tough growing up.
So as a man forced early into adulthood, Justin during Highschool work part-time just like Abby,
after High School, he had worked several jobs to keep a roof over his head with his sister, as a teenager; Abby works per time too at a diner while his brother works with a courier/logistic company;
they send and deliver packages and missing luggage to customers.
In Summer, tourists came flooded into the little mountain pass town where Justin Resides, the town becomes alive and active during this period. One faithful afternoon, Justin was on his way back from delivering a parcel to some old couples up the hillside when he noticed tow couples, visitors on vacation by his calculation. They looked lost and exhausted, Sun bitten and dehydrated; so he stopped the mini coloful van reflecting the name of his employer, he was about few feets away as he beckoned with a honk to the strangers.
The distraught couple's excitement came back seeing the young man waving at them to come over. Briefly, the wife narrated their ordeal of how they went on a hike and had been missing for almost two days losing their bags and other belongings over the mountain. Justin Knew exactly what to do,
he drove them straight to the diner where Abby works and have a meal and cold drinks served to the old couple who devoured the first plate in minutes and now unto the second plate.
Justin introduced his sister, paid for their meals and took them to the police station where they were taken to a nearby hospital and treated all the scratches they got in the wood and then back to their hotel. For the rest of the old couple's vacation, they hired Justin as their tour guide and paid him triple of his current wages as a delivery agent.
Few months had passed since the couple returned to their destination, a package was delivered to Justin and Abby's apartment, in it was a travel package and invitation for the two as the new adopted/heir to some Royal Family in Europe!
Most times when people around us are in dire needs, we are being tested; tested for our stewardship and how we use the little we have to take care of people around us. Be vigilant and never fail the divine Humanity Test!

Not a poem actually, but thanks all the same my friend.
Fada lawd! This is mind blowing, the humanity test is something that most people fail almost at all times.
How luckily Justin had been rewarded, heir to royal hood in Europe.
I think this has a direct message for me
Oh my!
Never knew i was writing about you!
Wow. . . It is not how much we have that determines how much we give, but our hearts. A kind heart would spend and be spent without expecting to receive.
This story is apt.
Thanks for reading dear @evashinen
