It was a hot sunny Sunday afternoon after I had a nap. I
stood in front of our mart and was thinking where the wind comes from, as it
blows through the leaves of the trees in various directions and we feeling it
around our succulent bodies. It left me pondering while I sit in front of the
mart admiring nature.
In some few minutes, I saw these two little girls around
three years old walking together, chatting and living in their own world. There
was one among them I knew. She was called Perpetual. Her mother is a fruits
seller just opposite our mart. Her mother sells fruits like apples, pineapples,
watermelons, oranges and bananas.
Suddenly, I heard this little girl heartily crying and
heading to her mothers’ place without her friend. After a while, I saw Perpetual
happily running towards the direction her friend went with two bananas in her
hand.
She even stumbled but didn't fall, one of the bananas she was holding
fell because the rate at which she was running to catch up with her friend was
high.
I shouted at her to take her time, her mother busted out
that, the reason Perpetual was running was that, she was running to catch up
with her friend and give her one of the bananas so that they could enjoy
together.
I thought about the gesture of this little girl and felt fascinated
to share with you my reader. I will ask you my reader, what do you make of this
act Perpetual exhibited?
This little girl has seen the need to share what she had
with her friend. The action Perpetual exhibited speaks a lot to me and reminds
me of the golden rule ‘do unto others what you want others to do unto you'. How
many times have you seen a friend whose shoes were worn out and you gave him or
her one of your shoes?
When you see a friend whose clothes are tattered, what
then comes into your mind?
The act of benignity of this little girl serves to me as a
wake up call to share what I have, to be kind to others and as we share or give unto
humanity. We share be replenished in a thousand fold. May this little girl’s
gesture remind you whenever you find yourself in such situation. Let’s give and
it share always be given unto us. Lets always be guided by this principle and we
will live a life worth remembering.
I am most grateful to have you spend your time reading this
article, let’s keep a positive mental attitude and it’s my prayer everything
works together for our good.
Thank you and let’s meet here again on this blog. Have a blessed
day!
