A Window of Hope

I was shopping yesterday evening (still got Eid gift to get for my friends:P) when I came upon a gurl crying in dismay she looked ready to collapse tears where streaming down her face, as I stood there I felt a sharp pain in my heart questions where zooming across ma mind, why was she crying?...who did this to her!?!, should I approach her and see what is wrong? and before I knew what I was doing my feet were carrying me to her.

I approached her, and as I gazed upon her face I noticed that her face was grey like the sky, I asked what could cause her such dismay. She told me her life, she felt a pain she never felt before. She said it feels like nobody loves her anymore, it was a fact she knew forsure,

"I started this life so pure" she said to me

She went on about her past, I listened with patience that was my task. I told her there is no need to cry, her words where like a looking glass to me how much pain will a guy put a gurl through?, It reminded me of the words I was told by another gurl, a gurl wise beyond her years....

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."

We took a walk aroun, with much pain did her heart pour with this feeling she never felt before.....

I talked to her, soothed her pain, brushed the tears, in the end she was smiling, she had such a sweet and innocent smile, and happy; my job was done so I took her leave and gave her a contact info if she ever needed to talk or advice for anything. We both walked away smiling......




A very good friend of mine by the name of Tanvi, showed me this it had a great affect on me and is related to what happened here, I gave her this example, and so this is why I have decided to put it on.....

"A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who do love you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by who we are. You are special - don't ever forget it."
