A young man during his childhood was bothered for many years by his classmate, as the years went by while working in his office, a client with a very familiar aspect came to him. When he asked his name he realized that it was that same child who He made him live the worst days during his childhood. He kindly asks, do you remember me? the confused man says "No, from where we know each other" and he responds quickly "I'm José, the child you used to bother at school every day"
When he hears these words, the embarrassed man tells him that if he remembers him, that he forgives him and that he thinks it's better to leave, but at that moment José gets up and says "No, I'm grateful to you and I will not charge you a dime for the work, you taught me the greatest lesson of my life, you taught me to forgive "

A GRAIN DOES NOT FILL A SACK BUT AS A HELP.
Daniela, a humble and enterprising young woman, works in a very important company in her city, every day she prepares to do her job better than the day before; One day like any other, a person came to this place who offered him a business that could change his life, economically, he could buy that house that he loved so much for him and his family, he could pay the studies to his younger brothers and above all study that career that she so longed for. There would be so many things that could improve in his life, but there was a problem that worried her, was that the business they proposed was against their principles and values, was diverting funds from the company, after her dreaming a bit about everything what he could achieve if he accepted, he flattered reality and decided to make a difference that day, and gave up. We must make a difference wherever we go, acting with our values and principles, because in every gesture, or expression of values we are marking the lives around us, although we do not notice it at first glance, but one can only make a difference .

Rafael's Dream
Since he was a child Rafael and his family had always lived in rented houses so they always had to move when the owner of the house evicted them. Rafael's dream was to build a house for his large family, five brothers and their parents.
Rafael began working at a young age in a company dedicated to the construction of houses as a bricklayer, thanks to his effort and his work he was soon promoted to foreman and earned a better salary which he used to help with the household expenses and he still had some money left.
Little by little, grain by grain, he started to buy materials such as blocks and cement to build the house of his dreams all by himself with the help of some friends. He devoted the weekends and any time he had to this construction. It took him more than a year to finish the job and for his mother's birthday he handed her the keys to his small but cozy house that would now be his home.

Daniel an orphan child who lost his parents to a ghastly motor accident at ten, leaving him to fend for his sister Rose at an early age. He got a job as a cleaner in an eatery where he was paid ten thousand monthly which wasn't enough to sustain him and his sister. He struggled so hard so that he could send his sister back to school again, engaging in other menial jobs outside his job to make it a reality.
One day, Rose fell very ill. She had developed peptic ulcer as a result of starvation due to lack of food. Her condition became critical that Daniel rushed her to the hospital but the doctor demanded he makes a deposit which he didn't have. So he ran off, leaving his sister in the hospital to source for the funds. On his way out, he met a man crying and begging "please help me sir, my only reason for existence is dying, anything you give will go a long way." They man gave him the only money he had. Onlookers who observed this from a distance started contributing and he got more than enough to save his sister's life.

There was a blind man who was sitting on the sidewalk, with a cap at his feet and a piece of wood that, written in white chalk, said:
"PLEASE HELP ME, I AM BLIND".
A creative advertising man who passed him stopped and looked at a few coins that were in the cap and without asking permission he took the sign, turned it over, took a chalk and wrote another advertisement and put the piece of wood back on blind man's feet and he left.
In the afternoon the creative went back to the blind man who asked for alms, but this time his cap was full of bills and coins
The blind man recognized his steps and asked him if he had been the one who rewrote his poster and, above all, what he had written.
The publicist replied:
"Nothing that is not as true as your ad, but with other words."
He smiled and went on his way.
the blind man never knew it, but his new sign read:
"TODAY IS SPRING, AND I CAN NOT SEE IT"

David was a spoilt child, not listening to advices and definitely not caring about the wellbeing of others. He had this neighbor, an old widow who had lost almost everything in life. She and David had their first encounter when she requested his help in carrying something she had ordered from the Internet. David told her plainly without mincing words that he had no energy to waste on her, as she had nothing to offer him. Seeing him as a youngster she tried advising him not to look at life that way, but he didn't listen.
Don't know why she kept asking for his help, despite the fact that he kept refusing. On a certain day she asked, he actually decided to help. Reasons for his action was unknown. Maybe there was an ulterior motive.
A night that week, David was beat up badly by an unknown gang. This old widow happened to pass by and saw David lying helplessly. She just kept on walking. David begged her to help him out, reminding her that he helped her in their last encounter. She simply said to him "one grain cannot fill a sack" and left him to die.

JULIE CRIED
I met Julie in our year one in the university and we became friends when I discovered her simplicity and decency although in different departments in the faculty of Engineering.
Image source
We both came from a poor background but mine was favourable to an extent compared to hers but I
wondered why she was not a flirt even with the lack she was going through and with her beauty.
It was three days to our second semester exam that I saw Julie in a moody look as we studied for our exams. I questioned why she was moody, she delayed to say anything until I forced words out of her mouth and she said to me:
I brought out the 600 naira on me and gave her, for the first time she hugged me as tears rolled down her beautiful face.

Dictatorship
Persia, the richest country for its minerals, oil and nature, but one of the poorest for its quality of life, both materially and spiritually. His authorities repressed with firearms, whenever another ideology dared to oppose his government. The political leaders made plans to mislead all the people, also treated them like animals, made them go hungry and then give them something to eat, the same thing happened with sick people who needed medicine and so on, until each one governed by the mind. A lot of crime unleashed thanks to them; because they themselves were crime. They killed people because they were different or even worse, they took away their freedom.
On the other hand was Simon, a young dreamer with the spirit of a liberator and with the ability to reach the hearts of people. He began to sow a message in everyone's mind, and in effect, made them open their eyes. One day a crowd took to the streets, without fear and with the hope of a new dawn. More and more people joined us, and with the support of everyone, they dismissed the president and all his corrupt government of inhuman.

No one trusted me, and most of the time not even me. My father was a drunk and my mother was a gambler. I did not exist for them. But still I did not give up, because I really did not have another option or I would end up like many of my family.
I finished school while collaborating in a partnership to help homeless people, but our budget was not enough, and it occurred to me that it would be a good idea to take advantage of the human potential of those we helped, and that is how the project began to help the association. From now who could and would, would sell all kinds of pastry and cookies, and the money generated would make a salary for these homeless people that some had not had a job in decades, and the rest for the charitable association.
Nothing went back to the way it was before; the homeless now had a purpose and hope. We managed to extend the help to more people. Maybe the world will not change radically, a grain does not fill a sack, but it helps.

“Consistency is Success”. This was my favourite quote from Anthony Ime who happens to be my earliest mentor in life. I used to be really confused about what I wanted to do in life until I met him and he taught me a lot of principles of Success but he always hammered down to suggesting that being consistent would guarantee success on the long run.
I remember back then in February this year when I was frustrated that I wasn’t earning much from steemit. As usual, I decide to find someone who would mentor me on how progress could be made on steemit. I met @ifioklee and he suggested that I should “keep posting everyday”.
I wouldn’t say I am perfect yet, but since the day I took his advice to heart, my experience here on steemit has been better by the day. I now see the result of the little efforts I put into this. I now try to post everyday and every post I have made has increased my wallet balance from what it used to be to what it is now.
Indeed, I have learnt that little efforts sum up over time to become meaningful progress.

Fred in the depth.
San Felix was a town that did not have Internet, nor with satellite signal, it was a restricted area. Adam and Fred were on a mission, which was to write a report saying if the mines were profitable or not. They traveled and began to investigate. Adam went to the front for being the leader and Fred followed him from a distance. They approached a cave, and before entering, you hear a scream and a blow, Adam scared turns to see and there is no one, it was assumed that Fred was coming from behind Where is he? He ran to the place where his partner had to be and got a big hole where he must have fallen. Fred fainted at the impact, thought Adam, and quickly left the mines. He spoke with a peasant, advised him to look for a rope and also gave him one. The rope was very short so he decided to go from house to house and collect as many strings as possible. He joined the ropes and with the help of the peasant he was able to get his friend fainted and injured by the fall.

“One grain does not fill a sack, but it helps,” her mother always said, annoying her.
Days turned into weeks and then into years, and her poor mother rented a house and took them off the street. She also sent Ijeoma through school and started a small selling business which somehow fed them, but Ijeoma didn’t still find a reason to be grateful.
The day her mind changed, she woke up like every other day, and ticked one more box, counting down to when she would be able to leave her mother, counting down to the day she would turn eighteen.
The silence was the first indication that something was wrong; her mother sang every morning to her annoyance.
As she peeped into her mother’s corner, she saw her staring into nothingness, drenched and stained with blood from her mouth.
She remembered vaguely hearing her cough during the night, and had done back to sleep when the cough died down.
While she had gone back to sleep, her mother had slept the sleep of death.
Her mother was buried the same week, but Ijeoma never got over missing her.
Ijeoma finally understood that her mother was the one grain.

When Frederick and Anahis married they had no home to live. They lived one year with Anahís' mother. Then one more year in the house of a brother of Frederick, until they gave the option to buy for a house whose owners were desperate for not being able to pay the Bank and both Frederick and Anahís had gathered little by little the necessary money to be able to fulfill the obligations of late payment of the property they acquired. They moved to their new house and there their second son was born. Frederick and Anahís continued to work and educate their two children.
Currently Frederick and Anahís are retired and their children graduated, working, and have given them the satisfaction of five beautiful grandchildren.
Frederick and Anahís are dedicated to share with their beautiful grandchildren all the time they can and help them in their homework, what they could not do with their children for being working.
This family has remained together and united in good times and bad, giving example of love, faith and perseverance and their slogan is "together we can achieve the best" because ONE GRAIN DOES NOT FILL A SACK, BUT IT HELPS.

Begging of Indian children.
These children bring their parents to the city to ask, sleep in the street, for the precarious situation in the villages of indigenous race, where they live.
Of innocent faces, barefoot, in guayucos, sometimes dirty, this story is real, it happens in any country of Venezuela.
I was in my car, waiting for the change of the traffic light, a ragged child approached me, barefoot, he does not speak, he just stretches out his hand, my face also makes a grimace, I raise my eyebrow, what do you mean, I ask? You do not talk baby, your age is not more than five years, I ask you and your mom ?, I see her sitting on the sidewalk, and the brothers were doing the same thing asking other people in their vehicles, I know that giving money, will not contribute, Then I put my hand in my wallet, I always have some trinkets, I took out a package of cookies, and I saw his smile, which for me was to say thank you, he ran excitedly, to take it and share it with his mother.
"A smile is worth more than a thousand words"

A GRAIN DOES NOT FILL A SACK BUT AS A HELP.
This is the story of a humble family composed of parents Elias and Marta and their four children: Rafael, Tobias, Sandra and Andrea. The pope worked as a carpenter many hours a day in order to obtain the sustenance of his beloved family, the mother washed and ironed other people's clothes. They had many needs but with what little they earned they could meet the needs of food, clothing and education, the problem was when their children demanded a toy, some candy they had to explain with much love that could not please because there were other needs . Thank God they understood and valued how little they were given. All the children studied and over time they managed to become professionals and today they give thanks to their parents who, with the few resources they had, managed to take their four children forward.

ONE GRAIN DOES NOT FILL A SACK, BUT IT HELPS.
The building was on fire and we could only hear the cries of a baby, the fire still had not stifled the apartment, it took the arrival of the firefighters, but that boy without much thought made the decision to enter and save that little boy and who knows if there was someone else. All repeated that he would not survive the hell that was generated in the entrance of the building, where you will enter? Intelligently began to climb up the railings of the balconies on the facade, and so he came up to the second floor and we saw how in a few minutes he came out with the baby in her arms, shouted from above i can listen to more people in the hallway! A few minutes later help arrived…
We stayed there until it was all over, and said the fire chief: A grain does not fill a bag, but it helps! And he added: and that help!!, without the location of the victims who gave us that young, it would have been saved, would have taken a little over an hour to find them, that great intuition, only our God is capable of this.

O&G test results are out!!
The whole classroom reverberated with the news as everyone scrambled for their phones to check their results online. I got up immediately and headed for the door. "Presh where are you going?"
"I forgot my purse in the hostel, let me get it before the next lecturer comes in".
She knew that was a lie. I had seen my result, my score was 55 and the class average was 70. "I must not cry, I must not cry.."
This was the 3rd CA test and I still maintained my position in the class...BOTTOM! Not that I wasn't trying, My previous scores were 44,52, and now 55!!
Debbie followed me till i got to the base of the stairs "Presh wait, whats wrong with you! Why are you crying?"
"Didn't you see, i got the lowest score in class again!!"

In a small community in Africa, there existed a very greedy and mean ruler. During his tenure, things got from bad to worse in the community with families dying due to starvation and diseases which they couldn't treat due to poverty meanwhile the household of the ruler and his friends flourished in milk and honey.
Years passed and his tenure as ruler was due. The ruler announced his interest for a 2nd term. On hearing this news, the villagers were all sad.
A new aspirant who was not financially stable but kind was announced. Most people never listened to him as they thought he could never stand a chance with the wicked ruler and as such their vote for him during election would be needless.
After the election, unsurprisingly The wicked ruler came up as the winner but surprisingly with only 5 votes higher than the other aspirant. On hearing this news, the villagers who never went out to vote groaned as they realized that if they went to vote too, the wicked ruler wouldn't emerge as the winner again.
Unfortunately, it was too late when they realized that one grain doesn't fill a sack but it helps.

I woke up with the dream of being that big city, of owning my house and not having to live in squalor. However this wasn't the case with what was happening right now.
Well, let's just say I lived that life once. I was the impulse buying, lavish spending kinda playboy and I lost all to that.
My father always stressed the fact that I went to the best schools but I refused to apply what I learnt. He said to fill a sack up, you have to start from one grain. I told him that since the businesses are ongoing, I would always have money to spend. Little did I know I was going to be so broke, a church rat would be in a better position to lend me money.
To cut the story short, he didn't die, like I'm sure you thought he would. What he did was worse, he froze my accounts, seized all my assets and kicked me out until I came to my senses. I'm sure it sucks to be him right now, cos it's been 3 years and I'm still alive, broke, but surviving.

David was on a quest!, A quest to save the world from itself. The earth was no longer friendly to man and neither was man friendly to is fellow man.
David gave all he had to poor and underprivileged but his efforts barely scratched the surface. He need to re-strategize.
David needed a new approach, he sought the advice of his grandfather. His grandfather said something that caused him sleepless nights. The grandfather said “ Money can’t effect the change you need, only an idea”.
David pondered on this for days and nights, till it struck him in his sleep. The idea was simple, help someone and tell the person to pay you back by helping someone and that other person should also pay it forward on and on. Might seem like a little at first, a grain might not fill a sack but it helps.

Mr. John was a very old man who always left early to sell different seeds in the town. His son Neil Andrew always accompanied him to help him carry the sacks of seeds because the town was through a long path up the mountain. After the sales of all the seeds were completed, Mr. John and his son returned along the path as they did every day to his house, but the old man always kept five Sunflower seeds in his pocket. When walking on the path, he always threw them on the banks every day. One day his son finally asked him: "Dad, why do you throw only five seeds every day if they are so few that it will take a long time to cover the whole path?" His father looks at him and says: "Son, one grain doesn’t fill a sack, but it helps, "and his son replies," Dad I know you're right but, maybe you'll never see those sunflowers bloom ", his dad looks at him smiling again and finally says:" Son, the important thing is not to see the Sunflowers bloom, the important thing is the legacy that one leaves on this earth ".

Venezuela is going through times of adversity and difficulties, for many families it is difficult to get food for each day. Many scenes of sadness are all around us: children, youth, adults and the elderly asking for a grain of food; People looking in the trash hoping to get a grain to carry out their dish, dishes with just a little bit of something in it that abound in the tables and the pale faces and the delegates of the people imploring a grain.
In such a way that solidarity among family members, friends and strangers has become evident in this crisis situation. It is very difficult for each person to eat themselves, much harder is to feed others but when we share them in a grain of what comes to our table, we know that we are not going to take away the lack or hunger of our neighbor, but the grain that we share resolves the need of the moment for those who receive it, that grain does not fill the sack but it helps.
The stomach will stop complaining for a brief moment, but the feeling of joy, gratitude, sure fills the heart forever and helps.

Just A Grain
Just as Mary picked the call, she heard Rita shout excitedly. “Mary! They’ve sacked those useless teachers. They’ve…” In that moment, Mary’s thoughts floated to three weeks before.
…...
Her grandmother had walked in to see her in deep thoughts. She asked what was happening and Mary narrated how the girls in the school she was posted to were being sexually exploited.
“Then do something!”
“Me? I’m just a grain of sand. No one will listen to me.”
“Hmm,” Her grandma thought for a while. “There’s a saying in your grandfather’s village: One grain does not fill a sack but it helps. Because it shows that the sack isn’t empty. My jewel, the world isn’t empty of people who can do good. By speaking up, you’ll give those girls hope, you’ll show the world that good people still exist.”
‘Mama, you are right.” That night, Mary published her first Facebook post on the issue.
…...
“Mary! Are you there? You are like a hero now.”
Mary smiled. “No, I am just a grain.”

As a child, Collins did not get everything he wanted. His mates at school who came from wealthy backgrounds never failed to remind him that he could never compete with them on any level. This made Collins really sad most of the time and he grew up with that mindset that he would never make it. This went on until he met Jay in the University. Jay and Collins were first coursemates who just went about their different lives until fate brought them together at the cafeteria. They quickly became friends and Collins opened up to him about what has been going on in his life. Jay, who was more financially capable, gave Collins some money with which he could use to start up a small business to sustain himself. Collins immediately started selling female shoes and though he was not making all the money in the world, he was comfortable and did not have to worry about the slightest things that would have bothered him when he was broke and did not have any money. One grain definitely does not fill a sack, but it helps in the long run.

One grain does not fill a bag but it helps.
This is a simple story most of us know from the bible.
Standing there in front of Jesus more than five thousand people, hungry after following Jesus for many days. Jesus looking at the crowd needed to prove to them one principle of life. To become great we have to start small. A boy with five loaves of bread and two fishes came out from the crowd. "How can this little meal feed all these people" the disciples complained. Jesus being the Son of God prayed and miraculously the five loaves of bread and two fishes multiplied and was more than enough to feed everybody and remained twelve baskets more. The meal meant for one person had fed more than five thousand people.

In a community of green ants, life went by gathering provisions to survive the winter. In this community lived a family composed of 15 ants of which only one was female and was called scarlet.
Scarlet was an ant smaller than the rest, so the amount of food that could be loaded was less, for that reason his brothers mocked and even did not allow him to place their seeds in the family's tank, scarlet decided to make his own deposit .
While her brothers slept or played she carried seeds and leaves to her secret store.
It happened that when winter came there was a great flood in the valley where the anthill was, and dragged what was in the deposit of the family of ants, that night the brothers slept worried because they feared for their survival during the winter.
At dawn the family of ants got up and there sitting at the table, which was served with rich and small seeds, had a scarlet breakfast and with a smile on their lips said: "a grain does not fill a bag but as an aid"

It was barely 10pm that day and all the grand children of paAtonga were gathered around him, as he told them the story about wolves. They haven't heard any of his slow but captivating stories in a long while, and as his stories always go, at the end, you must have something you've learnt. Well, for that evening, the moral was simple. The strength of the wolves is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolves.
Ten years on, and the children were listening to another paAtonga's sory. He started: "A long time ago there were three brothers, their parents had died and left them their properties. These children were in chaos and so all their relatives forcefully collected their properties. On realizing how stupid they had been, they reconciled among themselves, and together collected back what belonged to them." As soon as paAtonga finished, he was fast asleep, and the listeners were left to brainstorm on what the lesson of the story was. Such was the behavior of paAtonga whenever he told a story. The children laughed and covered him with a cloak, as it was already past midnight, and made haste to their beds.

A week later I was at the cashier's office hoping to get my schoolfees receipt stamped. The queue apart from discouraging anyone was stuffy. Subconsciously, I started singing the song, "COME TODAY I COME TOMORROW" by Timaya.
The cashier asked for the one singing and with clear conscience I raised my hand.
"Shae u say come today come tomorrow. I've marked your face. I will not sign your receipt until exams start!"
And that was it! All attempt pleading this lady was in vain...
Just on my way out of the queue, I recognized that young man as he was whispering to the Cashier. She called me in and said, "My son just saved your ass! Next time be singing nonsense!"
How could I have ever known that 150Naira would save me in the future.

There was a man who lived with his two daughters, who were curious and intelligent and always asked many questions, on vacation his father sent them to a wise man's house. The wise person always answered all the questions without any doubt. Impatient with the wise, the girls decided to invent a question that he could not answer so they captured a beautiful blue butterfly and having it in their hands approached the wise man and asked him:
"Here in my hands I have a butterfly, could you tell me if it is alive or dead?"
They expected a wrong response from the wise person to show that he was wrong, but his response left them stunned. The wise man firmly replied "It is your decision, you have it in your hands"

A group of frogs traveled through the forest and, suddenly, two of them fell into a deep hole. The rest of the frogs negatively told them to stop trying to get out of there because it was impossible to achieve it, the hole was very deep. Finally, one of the frogs decided to give up and died there, however, the second frog kept insisting and struggling to get out of that deep hole, although the rest of the frogs would shout that it was impossible. When he came out, the other frogs said, "We're glad you managed to get out despite what we were yelling at you" and immediately the frog explained that she was deaf and that she thought they were encouraging her to try harder and get out of the hole.

He started his studies at age 4 and the short time he was detected a bacterium in the stomach from that entoces is allergic to lactose. At age 6 he started his elementary school
in Carmen Maizo de Bello, since he was little he always excels in math and reading but at the same time his favorite sport has always been football.
he has played in the goal.
His parents and grandmother have always been his greatest pride. His father despite not having a good job and not having enough money has done everything possible to give you the best and see him happy and his younger sister. His mother sometimes stopped eating so he could eat better. For that reason Gabriel has promised to make the best effort so that his family more never passes work and not have that thought that we are going to eat tomorrow.
It is worth noting that Gabriel Hoyos is my nephew, and since I met steemit I have done everything in my power to help him since he is my only nephew and you could say that he is the spoiled one thanks to this page I have achieved some of my goals and one of them is always to see my family happy because the happiness of it and my daughters is mine

A group of loggers cut trees daily without stopping, even when they got up first and slept last they were the least cut trees. Inside them was a lumberjack who always used to be absent half an hour or more and was the last one to get up, however, he was the one who cut the most trees. Confused and at the same time annoyed decided to approach that woodcutter and asked "What do you do every time you are absent and because you are the one who cut more trees even when you are the last one who gets up and do not make almost effort like us"
The woodcutter smiled and replied, "During that time all I do is go and dedicate myself to sharpening my ax"
From that day, the history of those lumberjacks changed.

It is possible between all
This is not a story, it is reality; I gather in the Getsemani church for the glory of God. there we put into practice what it is to share the bread as in the primitive churches. This practice is only possible with the collaborations of all the brothers. Each week we choose the dish we are going to share on Sunday after the Sunday class. Once we have decided on the dish to share, the ingredients are divided among the brothers who voluntarily commit themselves to collaborate and in this way the dingoes together make the elaboration of this dish possible and we are happy to enjoy sharing this bread, with Our brothers and also with the friends who visit us, and so we can conclude that even if only one brother can not supply all the ingredients of the dish, their collaboration is very important because it helps.
Of there I can understand some proverbs that my mother always repeated: "grain by grain the chicken crawls!" as well as "drop by drop a pipote is filled!". Certainly the world is full of sayings but they contain great truths.

Tania was a lover of the arts, what she liked most was to draw, but she still needed a lot to learn and improve, sometimes they told her drawing like a 4 year old girl, this made her feel bad, but still she was still drawing.
One day she set out to improve, that her drawings were more professional, so she dedicated more time to her drawings to make more shadows, mixes, details, what she thought was not much, but the difference.
After a while I noticed that his drawings were more professional, she received comments as you put soul and commitment, so sometimes a little effort and much improvement.
She knows that the road is long and she still has to improve but every effort (granite) will be closer to her goal.

One grain dose'nt fill a sack but it helps
Slow and steady is what truly what matters in life. You might be earning cents now but be consistent and focus today and then tomorrow you might be trending. Yes one grain doesn't fill a sack but it definitely helps, as long as something keeps adding. Don't be discouraged keep your heads up, spend more time on it, go all out for it, it'll surely go smoothly tomorrow.
Remember, there is no harm in trying, gather as much as you can before famine.
The farmer that sleeps during farming, will have nothing to harvest during harvest season.

This saddened her and when she shared the news with John her son he couldn't take it in and for days He refused to eat.

LITTLE DROPS
Seun stood in front of the ballot box and thought hard. Of the three candidates contesting for the presidency, he couldn't think of one who was more qualified than the others.
Chuks was brilliant and had an easy going character, but the same could be said of Ade and Juliet. Ade was a more popular figure however, because his dad once headed the University Alumni association. The name Balogun alone, could pull a lot of votes in his favor.
And Juliet; she was a female but that didn't necessarily put her at a disadvantage. Rather, It actually felt like a positive for her, as all the feminist inclined associations seemed to stand behind her during the electoral debates. If she didn't win, It would definitely not be from a lack of support.
It dawned on Seun that Chuks was the most likely to lose among the candidates. As he thought more about it, he felt pity for him. A brilliant student who was tailor made for the post. His only flaw being that his competitors had more social pull.
Seun sighed and casted his ballot. One grain he thought, but so did many others.
Chuks would be sworn-in tomorrow...

THE TRUE MEANING OF COMMUNITY
Father Gilbert, a man of the cloth had a heart for the poor; moreover he had a heart for children. Each week he took a special collection in his service, he called it the Children’s Christmas Fund. He did this just after accepting the tithes and offerings. This meant that the parishioners only had paltry sums to spare; yet over the weeks and months, the amount he collected became more substantial. He further subsidised, the contributions of his congregation with that of donations from local businesses.
His goal was simple; each year he wished to feed one hundred homeless children for Christmas and provide them with a gift. Father Gilbert and a host of volunteers prepared the church hall on Christmas Eve, in preparation for their little guests. On Christmas day they brought in one hundred children previously identified; and laid out a feast that wowed the little ones. Each child was able to eat till their bellies ached. They became more buoyant when Father Christmas handed them a gift. This, thought the overjoyed clergyman, is the true spirit of Christmas and true meaning of community. Many small contributions, all adding up to meet the needs of the needy.

Karen recently moved to a small town. Everyone practically knew one another. She had always dreamt of opening her own restaurant as she was a really good cook but she could not due to her financial situation. She once lived with her dad. Her mum died giving birth to her and her dad had taken a loan from a bank which he was unable to pay before he died. Karen had to sell their house and some other things to raise money to settle the loan.
Today, she decided to take a stroll round the town to get to familiarize herself with the place. She saw a house with an old lady Megan sitting in the porch and decided to go say hello.
Karen enjoyed spending time with Megan and from their chat, she found out that very few people ever came to see Megan,so she decided to visit more often. On one of her visits she decided to cook something special for Megan. Megan told her she was a good cook and should open a restaurant. Karen explained her financial situation to her and Megan offered to help her with the money she needed for the restaurant.

"Have you heard about the latest embarrassing statement made by our president?" Agnes asked Ben.
"My dear, i have. It is disheartening that such could proceed out of him. It is not his fault really, it is ours voting an old man past retirement age into power.Did we really expect him to be productive? He has done nothing but embarrass us internationally since he came to power. Nothing works out in the country anymore but what can we do? We can only pray it gets better."
"I totally disagree my friend. Our future is in our hands. It is high time we stop making excuses for our leaders. If we stay silent, things would never get better around here"
Ben laughed.
"So what can you do? You are just one person, what impact would you have."
"Sweetheart, don't you know?"
"Know what?"
"One grain does not fill a sack but it helps. I am just one person but it doesn't matter what little i do. I can make a difference, one person at a time and i intend to start now."

This story that I present to you today is part of my life and I share it with you today so that you value every moment, minute and second next to the family that God gave you.
On 10/07/2003 my firstborn was born at that time I was 18 years old and my husband was 21 years old. Very young parents without any experience. That day I had my consultation with my gynecologist, who told me: Do not you have pain, or a headache? promptly answer: No! Fearful for the question when examining me, it turned out that I had entered into the birthing process and I did not know it, I did not feel any pain and as I began my labor process ended and I gave birth to my firstborn without any pain.
I named him Yezer Isaac, as I said parents without experience many say we teach our children but if something is that this angel that Mr. allowed me to have fourteen years taught me to be a mother, to be a daughter, to be a friend, He gave me more than I taught him more than I could teach him. Friend that you read this story today Yezer was an excellent son: good student, in sports nothing but the best, good brother. He never treated me like his mother spoke to me as his daughter, as his wife, as his sister.
the fourteen years that I had him by my side I gave him what was in my hands to give him or do for him was my pride my man as he called him. He tried to do everything right to get my attention, where I moved he was there, he would not let me go anywhere alone.
I learned a lot from him; that last year of life by our side was the most beautiful of my life: I enjoyed it as we never shared unforgettable moments made me laugh with his madness and if I also cry with his tantrums, but look at him kneeling crying to my God were the moments that I enjoyed him, his dedication to God.
Time is short In this land we do not know how much we are going to stay in it, today I invite you to enjoy yours without complaining about anything but thanking God for everything.

THE WHITE GOWN LADY
How could i be this forgetful? "We had met at a dinner event when i mistakenly spilled some red wine on her white flowing gown.
I looked more closely and confirmed that indeed she was the person being shown across the television. She was in dire need of help and needed a heart transplant which amounted to a tremendous amount of millions. I remember the way she reacted calmy when i spilled the wine on her white dress, "some naija ladies for don cause commotion for that place wey go embarrass you".
Some account numbers were displayed on the screen for people to donate. I immediately grabbed a pen and paper and wanted to write the numbers. I then stopped half way, i looked around my one self contain apartment, i no get cushion, i no get plastic chair, even mat. This tv na from the window of my neighbor house i dey watch am, my account balance na abomination.
As i layed to sleep that night, i prayed to God to dissolve her problems... I don't have money but what i have i give unto her. My grain might not fill up her sack but it helps.

Farming was her means of livelihood, so every morning before the cock gave its shrill crow, she and the children left the house trodding towards the farmland where they tilled the ground and planted seeds. But this farming season was the first of its kind she had seen. As the rain fell too little and the sun smiled down too fiercely, burning up everything and her plants were no exception. Darting her eyes across her barren farmland, she wondered how they were going to survive the hunger that came with drought. She took out her hoe and began digging the ground as she had done in the past weeks with hope that she might find something to grace their plates for tonight's dinner and as usual, there was nothing. So she started walking out of the farm where she stumbled on a pile of brown sand. She kicked at it but her leg met with a tuber of yam. She picked the small tuber of yam and even though she was expecting a barn full of yam, she was happy she saw this one. At least, they won't go to bed hungry again and that thought warmed her heart

Hola esta es mi historia "El glotón"
—You're going to eat that piece of bread alone, you're not going to finish my cranberry sauce.
—But mom, this bread alone has no flavor.
—You are a glutton, that's why you're so fat son, you must control that mouth.
This is how the conversation went on during dinner. The mother had prepared some sausages and bought some bread at the market. Oshey his son devoured everything that was served at the table: the sausages, the French fries, the bread, the sauces. The mother hoped that one day her son would stop hurting himself. But no matter how accurate the arguments were, Oshey seemed to have a deft answer to everything. It was very funny to watch him chew in ecstasy and as he licked the tips of his fingers, but his mother did not find it funny.
—Do not you think there was enough food for tonight? —asked the mother, watching him take another plate full of bread and sausages.
—I think there's still room for a snack —Oshey answered, stuffing whole bread into his mouth. His mother looked horrified—. Come on mom, this is like "a grain that does not fill a sack, but it helps."

Franco was not good at math, in fact he hated them, many times he was missing that class so he did not have to see that subject.
The final exams arrived, the teacher spoke with him, he told him this is your last chance for you to pass maths, frankly he got the nerves of points.
She told her best friend Michelle that she was not going to fail math that he was not good at, Michelle told him all this in what you set out to do and get it.
Franco looked for books, his notes, met outside of school hours to study, could not sleep on nerves just thought about approving.
His weekend friends told him to play video games, he stayed studying, he remembered the words of his teacher and his mind told him not to insists you will fail, but that thought I throw it away and studied.
The day of the final exams arrived at the end of the afternoon her teacher called him: congratulations, you have approved, and I jump of happiness

They say that a grain does not fill a sack, but help, example of this significant phrase is my grandmother, Mrs. Ana María Sotillo.
For me the word grandmother represents the life of my mom's mother; My grandmother is an old lady of 79 years, lives in the countryside, sows grains and vegetables, raises chickens and pigs, and see her in their world is an example of perseverance, courage, dedication, love for others, love for the things that work day by day, perseverance, she never tires, she is always willing to spend time with us when we visit her, she teaches me things of incalculable value, when she looks me in the eye and knows what is happening to me and advises me. God bless you dear grandmother for so many things you have done for all your children, daughters and grandchildren.
My grandmother has more experience than everyone in the family; it is something that can be seen at a glance by just looking at his pronounced wrinkles, his hands, his silvery hair and his wisdom.
I thank God for my grandmother and for a model in the present for me and for my mom and follow her example in the future.

"Hello, I do not know if I remember I'm the young man from yesterday and here I brought him a sandwich, I did not have money to buy him something and thank him for what he did for me yesterday, but what he gave me I brought him"
The moved woman cried and from that day I always seek to help others

She said she didn't see herself dating again she was too hurt to love. I was beginning to feel discouraged and disappointed. All hopes were crushing down on me. I decided that I was going to start from somewhere. I took that step, gave her the attention and care. Went on mountain climbing, held her when she needed a hand, served her breakfast on bed.
I did all this because I needed the love back. It was crazy, she was too beautiful and was all a man wanted in a woman.
I started doing things little by little after all one grain doesn't fill a sack but it helps. I kept on doing this.
We were like this for six months and one day I decided to ask her if she could be my lady. I was scared, agitated and a little shy. She was like " I think you should give me time". I was like at least she might consider. It was taking too long but I kept on with my game, although a part of me was like she was going to agree and finally she did.

One grain does not fill a sack but it sure helps...
This was true for Kunle, the Nigerian teacher from Ado Ekiti who was a staff of Obalende Grammar School, Lagos Nigeria.
Kunle was the compound master of the school which was a boarding school of so much repute in those days, he was so wicked to students that they nicknamed him *Pharaoh. Every set of student arriving the school was first briefed about the person of Kunle.
Many years after I left the school during my tenure as Governor of my State, I embarked on massive road construction, paying compensation and building new houses to those whose houses were demolished.
On the day we were handing over keys to the house owners something dramatic happened that shocked us. Down the street was a man crying profusely, my Personal Assistant gathered my secondary school teacher.
It took so much time to console him to tell us why he was crying, then he said "One grain does not fill a sack but it helps, forgive me my son for the seed I sowed in your life wasn't just one, it was also bad "
What a day it was!!

One Grain does not Fill a Sack
“I don’t understand the world.” Emman told herself
“It has everything people need, yet they can’t be happy.” Emman answered herself.
“They kept on inventing things or creating something. But in the end, they just crave for more.” Emman retorted.
“And look, look the way we have been. We thought we’re on the top, but the world we are stepping in with, is trembling. People needs to be contented.” Emman demanded to herself.
“Shhhsh. Who am I to tell these? I better changed my profile picture.” Emman changed her DP, with her picture on a coffee shop with her iced macchiato. It’s Friday that day.

He couldn't Fill Himself
Pat is a lonely boy.
He would always ask the clouds why he always feel that way.
One day he decided to hang-out with his pals. And there he sees himself wanting to just go home.
He sees the people that love him, yet he still feel alone.
He wanted something else but he couldn’t figure it out. He kept on praying for an answer. But he realized he doesn’t have a question. “What was it he wanted?” Or “What it is he needed” He still needs to decide.
But today, he knew, if he couldn’t fill himself with a dash of joy, he will save more.
Here's my entry, hope you like it. :)

Compassion first
A young accountant set out to save little by little to build a family business. Her plan was to help her family and be able to act as an independent accountant. When she was short of renting her business, a friend came to her with a great need for money because she was sick with cancer. The accountant's dream was hanging by a thread and depended on whether she fulfilled or helped her family but left it in the hands of God and gave her a very wise answer: You must help your neighbor because he is asking for help for something. You are healthy and you can wait so he did something wonderful, he helped his friend and decided to wait to fulfill his dream. Currently her friend has been cured of cancer and was paying little by little. Now they are partners and she brings more capital to the business. This teaches us that we should have more compassion for the people who ask us for help because we do not know the turns that life gives us. Sometimes we ignore people who need us to buy unnecessary things or to fulfill our dreams that can wait because we are about to know what life has in store for us.

During the last year of school, a teacher placed an exam. All students quickly read all the questions, until they got to the last one, which read: What is the name of the woman who cleans the bathrooms and how old are you? Surely it was a joke all thought since I had seen many times the woman who cleaned the school. She was tall, dark hair, about fifty years old, but ... how could they know his name?
One of the students handed in his exam, leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, he asked the teacher if the last question would be for the exam note. "Of course," said the professor. In your lives you will meet many people. All are important. All deserve their attention and care, although they only smile and say: Hello!

Oscar was a very gender person with people in need, one day he felt bad and went to the doctor. When he had the bad news that one of his kidneys did not want to function and he needed an urgent hemodialysis treatment, that news devastated him but his friend supported him at all times.
When he began with his treatment, the deicide, to comply with everything the doctor asked of him, he did not do any kind of disorder. He did everything to the letter and had faith in God and that he was going to be cured. During his illness he never stopped helping his friends, when one day the doctor told him that his kidney functioned again.
Knowing so wonderful, news and verifying that he was healthy, decided that all the medication he had purchased for his use would donate to those who needed it, went to the hospital to deliver all the high-cost medication to low-resource patients who were suffering from this disease, and he told the patient delivering these medicine I feel like a grain that does not fill the bag but I help in something.

A certain day a man found himself on one of his trips, a very beautiful and expensive gem and put it in his pocket. After spending a few hours he met a traveler and when he opened his pocket to get money, the traveler saw the jewel and asked for it.
The man kindly gave it to him without further ado. The traveler thanked him and went full of joy with that unexpected and valuable gift that would be enough to give him wealth and security all the rest of his days. However, a few days later he returned in search of that kind man who gave it to him, found it, returned the jewel and begged him: "Now I beg you to give me something of much more value than this jewel. Give me, please, what allowed you to give it to me. "
