Hello everyone how are you all, truly is been a long time now on this very community but I really thank God for the very great opportunity for me to drop my entry here and as well as to enjoy blogging in the platform more like my fellow steemians here.
So according to today's topic I will like to share a story with you all so that you all will learn from it as you read the story.
This always God's time is the best is a lesson behind my story which I am going to share with you guys and also take it as the title of the story.
So my story is about two friends who were very poor but the are working, the money the are earning is not enough to take care of themselves, but the were managing their selves with the little money the are making from their work.
The name of the two friends were Tony and Chris, the were hard working and also providing for themselves despite their income is not enough to Carter for their leaving.
One certain time Tony saw one of his friend back then in secondary school with a flashy car. Tony met their classmate on a bus stop where he wants to enter taxi that will take him to their house. And when Tony see their classmate, he did not even recognize him again, but that his classmate Jerry by name came out from his car and shouted Tony's name because both of them were such a good friends then in secondary school, and immediately Tony saw him he was surprised and called him by name Jerry!! And the both laughed and hug themselves, so Jerry Tony's and Chris classmate in secondary school was asking him about his friend Chris how they were doing and Tony told him that "this will be a talk for another day pls" and Jerry said okay as they called their selves the nick names the used to answer in secondary school that time, and at that Jerry asked Tony why he was here and Tony said that he is waiting for taxi to come and carry him to his house and he said okay let him carry him since they are going the same direction.
And when Tony stopped on the way which is a bit closer to their house Jerry gave him his complementary card so that Tony will call him when he reach home so that they will see some other day.
When Tony reach house he was explaining what he saw on the way while coming back today and Chris was also surprise and happy like he can't wait for the day they will go and see their friend Jerry again.
And when they dialed the number they saw on the complementary card which was Jerry's number, when they finish talking on phone, they decided to meet on Sunday at Emeka's house, and on the D-Day for the Meetup, Tony and Chris dressed up in their best attire and went to see Jerry their friend and when they reached the location the called him and Jerry came and picked them up and went to his house so that they can rest.
When the two friends reach Jerry's house, the Bagan to imagine and looking around like someone that is looking for an address of a place, they were hailing Jerry for building such a beautiful Mansion, and they were wishing they will be like him and build same house like him.
And after a short time Jerry took them to one hotel and they were drinking and enjoying their selfs but the two friends Tony and Chris were not having a peace of mind that place they were, when the said that they cannot drink anymore they are okay the want to go, and Jerry were trying to force them to drink more that their is too much money, but they insist and said they can't drink again and Jerry immediately called steemit the waiter and ask them to pack all those things and give to their friends so that they will go home with it and finish it at home since they cannot finish it here and they waiter did so and pack everything in a nylon and gave it to them and they carried it home.
That night Tony cannot sleep not because he is drunk but he was thinking about his life.
And when Chris opened his eyes and saw that his friend is not sleeping,he was trying his best to know the reason and Tony asked him "are you comfortable with this our poor life?" But Chris was shocked of that very question and asked him why he said so, and Tony told him that are you not seeing our friend Jerry how he spent money on us in that hotel and are you not seeing how beautiful his Mansion is, and Chris began to think the same way and asked him, "now what should we do now?" And Tony bring up an idea let them go and meet Jerry and asked him for help and see whether he will help them or not, and they agreed on the day the will visit Jerry and also they called Jerry and told him that they are coming to his house on Sunday and Jerry said ok.
On that day they went to Jerry's house and start discussing with him and later now told him the reason why the came.
And Jerry told them that are you sure you can do my business and they said yes and he asked again are you sure and they replied yes.
They think that it was business Jerry was doing that made him a wealthy man but Jerry told them that I am an importer and before you do it there are some certain things you will need to do so that you will get money and start importing goods from various countries.
And when they asked he told them that they should stay in his house that during the night hour they are going to meet one man that will give them money.
And when they time came they all rose up around 2am and start going to the place so Chris and Tony was asking him where are we going to, but he keep telling them to relax when they reach there they will know, and when they reach to one shrine of a native doctor where people do rituals they said all their plans and the native doctor asked them "are you all prepared for this journey you want to embark on?" And they did not answer and Jerry was giving them sign that they should talk and they were afraid to talk so they native doctor told them that he will give them three days (3) to go home and think about it very well and come back if they are ready to embark on the journey and they said okay and quickly went home, when they reach house they two friends were mute and cannot talk to each other cause they were still surprised of what the saw this night and Jerry was encouraging them to go and do it that it will help them alot and make them go out of poverty.
And when Two days (2) past, the third one Chris decided that he cannot go ahead that he don't want it that he will work hard and wait for God's time, and Tony said that he cannot continue with that poor life he is going to do it no matter what, and they were abusing Chris, telling him that he is a woman and not a man he have woman heart but that didn't move him a bit and the chase him out of the house and tell him to pack and go back to that his poor life and Chris packed out of the house and was also crying and went back to their formal work.
And on the third day, during the night hour Tony and Jerry went back to that shrine and perform sacrifice with a human being which he kidnapped and killed the person for the sacrifice, and when he get money he was enjoying his life while Chris was still suffering and he was buying cars houses and luxurious things in order to suffocate Chris so that he will change his mind and join them, anytime Chris begged him for money he will not give him and will tell him to go and make his own money.
And after some years, Chris got a new job that pays him very well that he can take care of himself and have some savings, and within some time he made a lot of money and opened his own business and be managing him self and with time the business start going well and made a lot of money to open shops different places and employ workers and from there his life change and he became a very wealthy man without putting his hand on any evil thing.
So as for Tony and Jerry their charm expired and they didn't Meetup in renewing it so the charm start killing them and they all died young while Chris lived long and enjoyed his wealth with his family.
You see according to the story that God's time is the best, don't go and do any evil thing in the name of you want to become rich or wealthy, just do business and think of how to grow or expand your shop or business to a greater heights.
Well am so much happy that at last I was able to drop entry on this very community and participate in their contest.
