The Helpmate

Two days ago, a lady approached me 
at the supermarket
I was with my children
I had picked them from school and 
they had asked for an ice cream treat
So we went to the supermarket to get 
some
The lady said "Good afternoon sir, I 
don't know if you can help a young man 
get a job
He is hardworking, honest, and very 
down to earth
He can drive, work in a supermarket like 
this or do any other thing you have in mind...
I said, "He can drive?"She said yes
So I gave her my phone number
I told her to give it to this young man
The young man called me an hour later
We talked
I asked someone to do a background 
check and another to interview him
He came out quite clean
I gave him a job as a driver, with a 
very good pay
He resumed this morning
At about 2 pm, he drove me to the 
supermarket
I needed to pick up some things
Guess who came tome in tears?
It was the lady
She said "God bless you sir, thank 
you for helping my fiance with a job, 
he is a very good man and will be a 
blessing unto you"
I said Amen.
When is your wedding? 
I asked her
She said we should have 
gotten married since but for his lack 
of a good jobThe date we are looking 
at now is August 28, 2021
This job is all we need to make it happen
I prayed with her and wished them well
When I got back to the car, I asked if 
he knew how blessed he was to have 
such a lady in his life
He said "Sir, I would have died of suicide 
if not for her
She is my younger sister's friend
One day, after several years of frustration 
and failure at every turn, I decided it was 
time to end it all
I took some poison and 
was already vomiting some blood in our 
sitting room
She came to check if my 
sister was home and stumbled upon me 
in that state
She dragged me by herself out of the 
house and shouted until she got help
She rushed me to the hospital and prayed 
until I survived after three cold days
Since that time she became my family
She led me to Christ
She shared her salary with me every 
month (Equally)and helped me until i 
got back on my feet
I got a job somewhere in Simawa about 
six months ago
The job was very demanding and risky
I took it because I don't want to be idle
Since that time she had taken it upon 
herself to get me a better job and she 
succeeded two days ago I am very 
grateful sir and i know i owe her 
everything
I listened to him patiently, praying that 
he would always remember the role she 
played in his life as he rises steadily to 
the top.
My wife played the same role in my life 
in 2012
That was how I got my first job
May God bless all the glorious women 
who go out on a limb to support, help, 
grow with and build with their spouses
Amen
