GOD IS REALLY AT WORK
Inspiring please read it to the very end.

TRUE STORY.
A woman baked bread for members of her family and an extra one for a
hungry passerby. She kept the extra bread on the Window-sill, for
whosoever
would take it away. Everyday, a hunch-back came and took away the bread.

Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he
went his
way:

"The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"
This went on, day after day. Everyday, the hunch-back came, picked up
the
bread and uttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The
good you
do, comes back to you!" The woman felt irritated. "Not a word of
gratitude,"
she said to herself... "Everyday this hunch-back utters this jingle!
What
does he mean? "One day, out of desperation, she decided to do away with
him.

"I shall get rid of this hunch-back," she said. And what did she do? She
added poison to the bread she prepared for him! As she was about to keep
it on
the window sill, her hands trembled. "What is this I am doing?" she
said.

Immediately she threw the bread into the fire, prepared another one and
Kept it on the window- sill. As usual, the hunch-back came, picked up
the
bread and muttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The
good you
do, comes back to you!"

The hunch-back proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war
raging in t he mind of the woman. Everyday, as the woman placed the bread
on the
window-sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant
place to seek his fortune. For many months, she had no news of him.. She
prayed for his safe return. That evening, there was a knock on the door.
As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the
doorway..

He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn He was
hungry, starved and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, "Mom, it's a
miracle I'm here. While I was but a mile away, I was so hungry that I
collapsed.
I would have died, but just then an old hunch-back passed by. I begged
of him for a small part of his food, and he was kind enough to give me
whole bread. "As he gave it to me, he said, "This is what I eat
everyday:
today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!"

"As the
mother heard those words, her face turned pale and red. She leaned
against the
door for support. She remembered the poisoned bread that she had made
that
morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by
her own son, and he would have lost his life! It was then that she
realized
the significance of the words: "The evil you do remains with you: The
good
you do, comes back to you!" Do good and; Don't ever stop doing good,
even if
it's not appreciated at that time.

If you like this, share it with others and I bet you, so many lives
would be
affected. Have a wonderful day. Remember, "God is what we need, so do
the
will of God!"
