The actions you put into the world always has a way of coming back to you (#152).
A sad begging of a story has a very good and existing story at the end.
The teaching experience I got from helping my pupils for over 25 years starts badly.
But please me at the end of my career as a teacher.
My wife was just a petty trader, who went in the morning and came in the evening.
With just a small amount to support the family.
I was just a teacher who depended on very basic wages at the end of the month with my family.
My wife will always tell me to quit teaching and get a better job to take care of the family.
But I always tell her I have passion for the job, the kids need me.
Not always for the money, but for what you blessed others with.
Even so, when I don't receive that much at the end of the month.
I will take part in my salary to buy some school materials for the kids.
Whenever I reach home with the items my wife will be mad at me, thinking that what I am doing was wrong.
Not just that I will not go home till late in the evening when my family are waiting for me.
I will stay to help kids with lots of questions and assignments to solve before thinking of going home.
There is one thing I use to tell my dear wife when she gets angry at me for helping the kids financially at school.
"If you gonna be a teacher, you gonna learn to eat on the budget". I know that is crazy to hear right? Hahaha.
And I was right, many of them don't have basic school materials, not even money to buy lunch.
I also use the little to buy lunch for the ones that can not afford it.
I always feel very happy to help, it brings so much joy into my life.
One day my wife passes by my office on a visit to say hi and pick me up so we can go home together.
But the unfortunate part I was helping a kid who is not doing well with his studies.
A few minutes later, when I am trying to tell my wife to go ahead, I will surely see her soon.
The parent of the boy came in unhappy because his son was not doing well in all his exams.
The boy's mom said bad words to me in front of my wife that did not go down well with her (hmm).
When we went home, my wife tried to discourage me to live the job I have passion for.
A job I have been doing for over 25 years, but I was able to calm her down.
The following morning a man knocked on the door, and he was sent to serve us a letter from the court.
The letter was for us to live in the house if we did not pay our bills.
My wife looks at me and said now we are about to lose the house because we can not save money to pay the house bills.
But I told my wife to be patients, God has his way of doing things.
She said I should have been saving all the money I was using, busy buying school materials for the kid for all these years.
But I told her one thing "The actions you put into the world, will always have a way of coming back to you".
A few months later we were not able to raise the money and our time was up.
We had a knock at the door, and we both watched each other it was a sad moment.
We are going to live the house we have spent all our lives.
I went through the door, and I saw a man standing, I told him we packed already, we are living out now.
And he said I am not here to throw you out, I am one of the students you held years back in school.
We had about what is happening with you, so we decided to raise funds for you, sir.
The house is all yours we bought the house for you and pay all the taxes.
I shed tears with my wife with joy in our hearts and said to me I was right.
"The actions you put into the world, will always have a way of coming back to you."
