One of the precious gift bestowed upon mankind

We are too busy nagging our creator to bless us with the gift of wealth, we are always in pursuit of money and we don't appreciate the little we have, our desire for more money is insatiable.

We tend to focus on the things we don't have instead of being appreciative of the ones we are blessed with.

We forgot that we are living on borrowed life and it can be taken from us at any time, we do not decide how long we are going to live, many people slept in the night and didn't wake up the next day, the giver of life has taken what belongs to Him, we can only hope that ours is not taken prematurely.

Nothing we bring to this world and nothing we shall take with us, this is a good reason why we must not do evil to amass wealth nor should we risk our lives and health for money, no amount of money can save us from the hands of death, nor can we take our houses and car to the place beyond earth.

We must always be thankful at all time for the precious gift of good health bestowed upon us.

This reminds me of a day I went to the general hospital in my city, I left home with a joyful heart because my sister just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl but came back with a heavy heart as a result of the things I saw at the hospital.

Just as I got there, they rushed a dying man inside, there was an accident that took the lives of many, he was the only survivor but the accident took something precious from him too, his two eyes😥😥😟

I just could not help but imagine what is left for him if he really survives this when his two eyes are gone, he has become a liability as he can't work anymore nor can he see those precious to him.

Conversations like, Look at that fine house, This baby is beautiful, I love how you look will always leave him heartbroken because he can't see what those people are admiring anymore.

Honestly, I would rather die than live without my eyes, there is nothing more to live for.

When you visit the hospital, you will forget about the things you can not afford and be grateful for good health... What is wealth without good health?

There are rich people laying lifeless on the hospital bed being supported with oxygen and waiting for their death, their wealth could not buy them good health

Here we are, risking our health for money.

I could remember something very dangerous I did for money a few years ago.

It was a drinking contest in which the participant needs to drink 2 bottles of beer within a few minutes and the person with the shortest time wins the prize.

I don't drink but I needed the money and I love contests, I bought two bottles of star lager beer and ask someone to record me while I drank it.

I have almost finished the second bottle when my body system could not take it anymore, but I did not stop I made sure to finish it within 2 minutes 47 seconds but I vomited immediately after I finished the beer.

My thought now is what if my body had adjusted and I didn't vomit immediately, some people did not do up to this before having liver problem and other organs failure.

I got a prize of 3000 naira and I was happy but it is now I realized I almost gave up my health for 3k. If any issue had come up, the money I got from the contest won't have been able to solve it.

The lesson in this is that we must value our life and health over money, it is a priceless gift.
