Every human has needed help at some point in life, and it feels great when someone comes through for us. Instead of writing about who once helped us, share with us a time when someone needed your help and you didn't hesitate to help. How did you feel about being able to help, and what was the person's reaction?
Helping poeple should be part of of our daily life because we might someday needs someone's help. Personally, i have been in so many challenges in life and someone helped me out, why can't i extend mercy to others who are in need. I can't forget helping Chisom and her husband back then in 2015. Chisom husband works in a bread bakery near my home. I came to know know them through my hubby then. Because both her husband Paul and my hubby worked together for years before he left bakery work.
Well, Chisom was pregnant for her husband Paul when he received a sudden massage of passing away of his brother. Paul took a permission from his Boss and traveled down to the village because of his brother's death. Unfortunately, he couldn't come back the day he told his master that he will be coming back. He came back two days letter and his boss fired him. Remember, he is living in the bakery quarters. He left with tears with chisom because he thought that his boss will consider him but he didn't.
They were able to pay for 6 months rent with the hope of paying one full year before the 6 months elapses. He couldn't pay for the remaining 6 months and their landlord locked their door. She and her husband became stranded. No money for rent nor for food. It was a terrible situation. They had to rush down to tell me their present condition. I had to welcome them in even when my husband is not around. I letter called hubby to explain the situation on ground to him and he decided to let them stay.
She stayed with us till she gives birth to her baby girl Mmesoma. Apart from giving them shelter, i fed them, make them feel at home and comfortable throughout their stay. It wasn't an easy one because her husband is not really working then. Not only that, it was just one room apartment. And i was about 6 months pregnant when she gives birth to her daughter. Due to mosquitoes bites, she and her daughter including me and husband used to share one bed while her husband sleeps of the net which covers only the bed. At a point,y husband joined her husband sleeping on the floor while we share the bed together. Their stay also prevented me from having funs with husband as we normally do. But am not regretting it because what matters to me is to save humanity.
Her husband latter got a job after being idle for one month. Immediately he received his first salary, he went and pay their complete rent and their Landlord opened the room for them still they couldn't go. The reason is that they don't have money or food at home. I had to discuss with my husband to raise them some money to enable them return to their house. He accepted and did what i asked him to do so that they could go back to their house and we too will have time for ourselves. I gave them money and food stuffs.
When i remembered this good deed of mine, i feel comfortable within my heart knowing that God blesses the cheerful ones. I strongly believe he is helping me and will continue to do so. This couple's on their own was very happy. When they left my house, Chisom sent me a message showing how grateful she was. Am happy i deed that and sheis happy that i willingly helped them when they were in need.
