Be grateful with 10 thousand rupiah

in story •  7 years ago 

There is a friend telling his story. He was named Budiman. That afternoon he accompanied his wife and a daughter to shop for monthly household needs at a supermarket. After paying, their hands are loaded with plastic shopping bags.
Just as they came out of the convenience store, Budiman's wife was approached by a beggar woman who was with her little daughter. The beggar woman said to Budiman's wife, "Give us alms, Mom!"

Budiman's wife then opened his wallet and he handed me a piece of paper money amounting to 1000 rupiah. The beggar woman proceeds to accept it. When he knew the amount was not enough, he then tossed his fingers towards his mouth. Then the beggar grabbed his son's head and once again he pointed the fingers in his mouth, as if he wanted to say, "Me and my son have not eaten for days, please give us
extra alms to buy food! "

Finding the woman's beggar's gesture, Budiman's wife greets her gesture as if to say, "No ... no, I will not add alms to you!"
Ironically though not adding alms, his wife and daughter Budiman instead headed to a fried wagon to buy snacks. On the same occasion Budiman walked to the ATM center to check the balance of his account. It was a payday, so Budiman wanted to check his account balance.

In front of the ATM, He put the card into the machine. He pressed the BALANCE INFORMATION button directly. A moment later a few digits appeared that made Budiman smile a little from her mouth. Yes, her paycheck is already in the account.
Budiman withdraws some money in millions of rupiah from ATMs. Fractions of hundreds of thousands of red color now already crowded his wallet. Then there is one red money sheet too, but this time it's worth 10 thousand that he pulled from the wallet. The money Then he folded small to share with the lady beggar who had asked for additional alms.

When the beggar woman sees the value of money received, how excited she is. He also thanks God and thanks Budiman with sentences full of sincerity: "Alhamdulillah ... Alhamdulillah ... Alhamdulillah ... Thank you sir! May God give multiply sustenance for masters and family.Hope God gives happiness born and the inner for the master and the family, given the gift of the sakinah family, the mawaddah wa rahmah, the harmonious household and the pious and shalehah children, May the master and the family be given a respectable position later in heaven ...!

Budiman did not expect that he would hear such a moving response. Budiman thought that the beggar would only say thank you. However, what was said by the beggar woman really makes Budiman mesmerized and silent. Especially when he once again heard the woman say to his little daughter, "Dik, Alhamdulillah finally we can eat too ....!"
Deggg ... !!! Budiman's heart was pounded so hard. Apparently the woman was really hoping for additional alms so she and her daughter could eat. A moment later Budiman's eyes trailed the departure of the two of them who ran across the street, then went into a stalwart to eat there.

Budiman still speechless and stunned in place. Until his wife and daughter came back again and both greeted Budiman. Budiman's eyes are now teary and his wife knows that. "What's the matter, sir?" His wife asked.

In a rather heavy voice, Budiman explained: "I just added alms to this woman as much as 10 thousand rupiah!"

At first Budiman's wife almost disagreed when Budiman said that she gave extra alms to the beggar woman. But Budiman then continued the sentence:
"Mom ... I give him that kind of charity, and when he receives it he speaks repeatedly and thanks God, not only that, he is praying for me, praying for you, our children and our families.
He only received the gift of Allah Almighty for 10 thousand alone is so great grateful. Though I previously saw at the ATM when I checked the balance and it turns out there are numbers that may be hundreds and even thousands of times from 10 thousand rupiah. As I looked at the balance, I just nodded and smiled. I forgot to be grateful, and I forgot to say hamdalah.

Mom ... I'm ashamed of God! He received only 10 thousand so thankful he was to God and thank me. If so, who is worthy of entering into the heaven of God, is he who receives 10 thousand with great gratitude, or I am the one who receives more than that, but the least I do not speak of. "

Budiman ends his sentence in a stuttering voice and several teardrops are dripping. His wife becamelimp after realizing how far less grateful as a servant. O God, forgive us Your servants who are often neglectful of all Your blessings.
