For the past week now, Our pumping machine got bad. But in a different way, we had an option of not leaving our resident to get water somewhere.
The one supplying water to the apartments got bad but the one suppling to the poultry house still works.
Well, we have to opt to go get water from the farm house instead. It has been like that for a while now.
So we have to go down to the farm to fetch water. But did you know the amazing part of it?
While the machine in the apartment was working, we never valued or see the need to maintain or minimize how we use water or even see the need to store water.
Personally, I never saw the need until I lost the privilege. I barely go two times to fetch water and I am exhausted already.
Mhen, it's even worse that after coming back from the farm and one want to rest but have to go fetch water to bath first before any other thing.
Within me, I am already tired of this everyday fetching water but there are people somewhere in an underdeveloped community who goes to the stream, very far from their homes just to fetch water.
This happens everyday of their life. In fact, it's one of their everyday chores.
I could just imagine the privilege I have that someone else doesn't. Did you know that I never thought I did find myself in this situation before?
Same goes to you, there are lots of privileges you enjoy that others don't and funny enough you don't value it.
For example:..
1. A child who eats three square meal everyday does not know the value until the parents can not afford it anymore.
2. You live and sleep in a well furnished house everyday probably you are not paying the house rent and you won't know what you have not until it's no more.
And so many more.
Value what you have and cherish it.
Just imagine the little boy in the picture.
I am sure he is even happy that atleast, he sees something to eat.
Here you are living in a duplex still complaining.
It doesn't mean you should be comfortable where you are but cherish where you currently are and the progress you have made.
