As a kid, I liked playing with stones till one day
i threw one and it hit my mother's fowl and it
died instantly. I thought i was just alone but
surprisingly, my sister was right behind me
watching.Then she said "give me #100 and i
won't tell mum"
I said "i don't have but please don't tell her,
she will beat me up."
The following day, Mum told her to wash the
plates and sweep the surrounding, but she
said: "Mum, TOM said he will do it"
Then she came to me and said: "TOM, u wash
the plates and sweep the surrounding or else,
don't forget u killed a fowl"
Without hesitating, i washed the plates and
swept the surrounding for her.
The next day, mum told her to go and fetch
water and fill the drum. She said again: "Mum,
TOM said he will do it"
Then she came to me and said: "TOM, u
remember that fowl?? Fill this drum with water
or else...."
That's how i drew water and filled the drum.
That same day in the evening, mum sent her to
the market to buy food items, and again she
said: "Mum, TOM said he will go and buy them"
she came to me again and said: "TOM, don't
forget that the fowl is still dead, go to the
market and buy d food items or else......"
I just stood up and went to my Mum with tears
in my eyes, i found her sitted in the house, i
went to her, knelt down and said while crying:
"Mum, I'm so sorry pls forgive me. I'm the one
who killed your fowl but it wasn't a deliberate
action, plz Mum forgive me I'm sorry."
Then she replied: "my son, the day u killed the
fowl, i was at the window watching everything
that happened. Your sister made u her slave
because u did not want to come to me to
confess and apologise. But now u have done
it, u will be free, she will no longer use u
again."
*MORAL:* Each time we sin, God sees us and
our sins make us slaves, the moment u confess
to God and ask for forgiveness, u are set free.... Please, share as we may end up helping someone to open up to our creator.
