*Hmmmmm...*

A Man who has always asked me for help called this morning, asking if I was at home.

I said NO *(I lied).* He asked if he could wait. Again I said No, that he should go, I will call him when am back home.

*"I don't have money today abeg. Even I too dey look for who go help me"*, I murmured to myself after dropping the call.

As I stepped out of the house much later, I was shocked to see him asleep on the bench beside my house waiting for me.

I felt sad, with a rush of guilt. I walked towards him, making up my mind to give him 1k out of the 3k cash I had with me.

*He was so happy to see me when I tapped him awake.*

*"Are you just coming, I didn't know when I slept off"?*, he asked and I said yes. I had to lie again!

Before I could bring out the 1k, with so much excitement he brought out a brown envelope containing the sum of *HUNDRED THOUSAND NAIRA (100k)* and said to me:
"It is for you. You've been so kind to me during the lockdown. I know it's small for you but just buy anything you want with it."

He said confidently. God has done it. I was so pleasantly dazed.

God has again transformed another life!. Glory be to Him. 

*LESSONS*

(1) Many of those we see/treat as 'beggers' are probably more generous and much kinder than us the self acclaimed Philanthropists (who else will doze off while waiting to dash out Money).

(2) It is not everytime people call that they need your help, they can also call to Bless you when God changes their lives.

(3) Some people you help are often on their knees praying to God for more of His blessings in your life, so you'll never lack to give to the needy.

(4) Some people we've helped today, might end up helping our children or family members tomorrow.

(5) God is the ultimate owner of all things, you are only a Steward, be wise with His privileges upon your life. It's called Grace.

(6) Be kind to people on your way up, so that if and when life or nature happens (God forbid bad and evil things), they too will remember your kindness and be kind to you.

(7) What do we even have, that we were not given? 

*Be nice to people nobody knows tomorrow.*
