“Hey boy, Come and sit down with me please” “what are you doing in here, what is in your Bag?”
“I collected old water bottles and other recyclable plastic things”
“What’s for that?”
“To resell”
“How much money you get for these?”
“Minimum 0.50 U$, not the same in every day, some day less than”
“You have parents and brothers or sisters?”
“No one now, I am only one and they are all passed away in cyclone at the last year”
“Oh, Jesus ! ” “Now, where are you living and staying who with, boy?
“I’m now with one uncle, my associate from our Village, he is a carpenter and we are living in out of the downtown”
“Grand Pa, you also only one, what are you doing for your daily life?”
“I retired, last year, from my work. I had been working as a transportation officer in railway stations of small town. I have no family, I am only old-bachelor and my brothers and sisters were living in delta region. Even thought I retired, much of duties for me to do until to leave from this world to my Father’s home.” Said old man.
“What you mean, Grand Pa?”
“Boy, I am now working not for our country, but for my Father’s Kingdom” “Actually, my Father is Eternal Living God; He is Creator for all things and that also you and me included”
“What?” “Your Father created me, that’s not possible” “if so, How’s my father and mother”
“Yes, Boy, your parents and all man-kinds were God created as life being with the dust of the ground and his Spirit- the true living life. God is Holy Spirit and he is living in our bodies as living life and this true living life is also called Jesus Christ. When we know the truth, we know ourselves that we are Sons of God. The true living life in your body and my body is the same and this living life is coming into our bodies from Eternal living God as wave of invisible power. We are look-like as television set, and many types of television Brands and producers in this world, but television program is come from one of Broadcasting Department in one Governmental territory. Like this, Eternal Living God formed and drew great plans for you, for me and for all man-kinds with suitable programs. Thus, God know about our life that when we born, when we start to work and retire, meet and feel for Joy & sorrow and when we suffer & die of our bodies. Today, we are coming and meeting in here, is also God’s plan and his will. That is not incidentally. You agree it, my boy?”
“I do not understand very well, but very interesting for my life.”
“Actually, you are not alone in this World; Eternal Living God is with you forever as true living life in your body and also with me forever. You think me that I am talking to you foolish words and making the time to waste, but this is my duty to tell you the truth. Every one in here will see us as Jobless man and parentless boy, but we are Sons of God and we are not useless person in this World. You are now collecting the plastic bottles and recyclable plastic things in this Garden; you are really one man to help this garden to clean more and you are also making business for this country by supporting to plastic recycle markets. Hey boy, don’t feel for sorry for your present life, one day you will be great man. I have never been feeling for sorry in my life whether I am worker or retirement from that work, because, God arranged for us to do incredible works from the beginning and until to ending. Actually, in this World, No man is perfect, No man came incidentally, No man lost his incredible potential”
