There was a farmer who was anxious for the rains as he and his family had toiled hard, ploughed the fields and sowed the seeds. The farmer knew that if rainfall would not occur in time all his crops would get baked in the sun & die.
Rain did not come and all the crops died. Somehow, the farmer’s family survived with the crops kept in store to be used in emergency. Finally the crops in the store also got finished. The farmer was sad and knew that the family had nothing to eat. The family decided to pray to God for help. While they prayed, tears rolled down their eyes. The whole family was in distress.
Suddenly, they heard loud sounds coming from the neighborhood.
The farmer and his wife went to see what was happening. They saw that the parents in the neighbourhood house were quarreling with each other. The children were crying. The grandfather was howling loudly at everyone. There was restlessness everywhere. On seeing the farmer and his wife, they felt ashamed & became silent. The lady of the house started crying. She screamed and said, “This is the everyday story of my life”. The farmer and his wife consoled the lady and prayed to God to bestow peace in their home and forgive their sins.
In the morning, the neighbourhood Lady came to the farmer’s house with some breakfast. She thanked him for his prayer. She requested the farmer and his wife to visit her house every evening to help her establish peace in her house. The farmer and his wife promised to give a visit to her home every day. The lady was very happy. She gave the farmer’s wife a gold bracelet studded with diamonds as a sign of obligation & requested her not to refuse the gift.
The farmer’s family offered a thanksgiving prayed to God and ate the breakfast. They thanked God to send help in time.
Lesson: Help others as God helps us.
