...And the young man told his father "Dad i went out today and saw a particular automobile, one with a different style and pride. It's my dream car and i'll be most grateful if you can get it for me as a birthday gift"
The father smiled, nodded his head and walked away in silence.
On His Son's birthday, the man wrapped a gift and gave it to his beloved son. While unwrapping the gift, the son immediately caught a glimpse of a bible inside, and with great anger, he returned the bible to his Dad accusing him of not being true to his words. After that day, the young man walked away from home to start up a life of his own
Several years later, he was told his aged father had slumped and died and that his attention was needed at home to perform the burial rites. On getting home, he walked straight to his late fathers room and found that same Bible the dad had given him some years back. With a little bit of curiosity, he opened the bible and saw the Key to his dream car lying in one of the pages. At that instance, it dawned on him that his dream car had been packed behind the house all along, with the key to it, embedded in the pages of a Bible.
Sweetheart, IMPATIENCE and ANGER are imposters that can make us loose sight of the opportunities that are embedded in the pages of our lives. More so, the Bible isn't just some work of art but a guide to every facet of life. Conclusively, there's a lesson or two to be learnt in every story, find your own lesson in this story. Remember, anger is a cankerworm that gradually eats deep into the fabrics of your being and eventually leaves you lifeless.
