That life can be cruel at times is something most of us experienced at some point. One day everything seems normal, and then out of the blue a challenge or an obstacle comes along our way and tests our resilience.
But it is these experiences that help us grow and learn.
A woman named Vera had a fulfilling life and a family she adored. Unfortunately, she lost it all in a fire that left her without her husband and daughter and without a roof over her head.
The years following the tragedy that changed her life forever were dull and filled with grief and anger.
Vera was forced to move in with her parents, but following their passing, she lost the house she inherited from them and became homeless.
Unable to land a job and find a place to stay, she was offered to help around at the local shelter, for which she was given food and little money. Her responsibility was to clean the place and throw the garbage.
One day, however, as she got near the trash cans, she spotted a bag under the pile of garbage. Curious to see what’s inside, she took the bag, and then a one dollar bill fell out of it. When she peeked inside, she noticed something that took her breath away. There was a pile of money inside, and it was so many that she couldn’t even count it.
At that moment, she imagined how different her life would be if she took the money for herself. She could buy a house, maybe start a business, and be able to help those in need. As she was thinking about the possible outcome, she heard someone yelling, “Hey, lady. Move out of the way.”
Still in disbelief at her find, she struggled to decide what to do next. But after giving it a thought, she decided to take the bag and bring it to the shelter.
Seeing her looking puzzled and sh.ocked, her boss asked her is everything is alright. Vera then handed him the bag and told him about the money. The boss started counting the bills, but he lost track.
Vera told him she wanted to return it to the rightful owner, and her boss knew who that person was because he had visited the shelter earlier that day, asking if anyone found the money his housekeeper threw by mistake.
The boss praised Vera for her heart of gold and suggested she should be the one to return the money herself. It turned out that the person who lost it lived just two streets away.
