The Blessing

An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All
he had left was $10. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for
death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could
find no job; nobody was ready to help him.

He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little
children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had not
eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean that he
could see their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone into the socket.

With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the food. The old
man and children prayed for him that will bless and prosper him and then
gave him a very old coin. The young graduate said to them "you need the
prayer more than I do". With no money, no job, no food, the young
graduate went under the bridge to rest and wait for death.

As he was about to sleep, he saw an old newspaper on the floor. He picked it up,
and suddenly he saw an advertisement for people with old coins to come
to a certain address.

He decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him. On
getting to the place, he gave the proprietor the coin. Alas, the
proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed the young
graduate a photograph. this same old coin was worth $3M.

The young graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for $3M
within an hour. He collected the Bank Draft, went in search of the old
man and little children.

By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He
inquired from the owner of the canteen who told him that they even left
a note for him.

He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to
find them. But alas, the words in the note reads thus:

"You gave us your all and we have rewarded you back with the coin" Signed God the Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. 1 Kings 17:10-16; Matthew 11:28-30.
