Facing the storms of life

By

Yesterday while at work I was having a conversation with a friend of mine and he shared to me his worries and troubles which really touched me so much. As we conversed, I also happened to share my problems with him and he got shocked because mine were incomparable to his and so we consoled each other.

 As we discussed further, another lady joined us and also shared her story with us. Funny enough, hers was so terrible compared to ours. But with the gaze at her angelic and adorable face and style we all couldn't believe that she was going through these at all. She was a bonny and strong belle.

Well, I learnt something and got motivated in a certain way with our stories. We just see people waking up every day, walking down the streets, eating at fancy restaurants, having happy and smiling faces, smelling good, cruising posh cars, living in mansions, holding and putting on expensive things but they are going through a lot in their lives. There is pain behind their smiles and nice looking faces. They cry in those cars and mansions. They don’t have peace of mind. They have big scars and deep cuts in their hearts.

So, wherever you are and whatever situation you are going through in your life, just embrace it and be grateful for life.  Be thankful for your daily meal, for the small single room you live in, for your small and less earning job, for your health, for your small family, for the few trustworthy friends you have, for the small achievements you have made and for any little thing you have in your life. This is because someone else out there yearns and prays to God to have it all but they just can't. And those who seem to have more than what you have at least they desire and fast to have something that you already have.

Be grateful and prayerful. Whatever thing you need in your life it shall happen at the right time.

Boko Haram on Sunday released a video of the girls allegedly kidnapped from Chibok in April 2014, showing some who are still alive and claiming others died in air strikes. The video is the latest release from embattled Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who earlier this month denied claims that he had been replaced as the leader of the jihadist group. “They should know that their children are still in our hands,” said a man whose face was covered by a turban in the video posted on YouTube. “There is a number of the girls, about 40 of them, that have been married by the decision of Allah,” said the man in the 11-minute video, which shows girls with veils sitting on the ground and standing in the background. “Some of them have died as a result of aerial bombardment.” The mass kidnapping of 276 Chibok schoolgirls in April 2014 provoked global outrage and brought unprecedented attention on the Boko Haram conflict, in which at least 20,000 people have been killed since 2009
