Dave and Clara have been
- married 4 over nine years
- without children. They
- stayed with each other
- and hoped that they will
- have a child before their
- 10th year of marriage
- because they were being
- persuaded by family and
- some friends to get a
- divorce but they couldn’t
- let go because of the love
- between them.
- Months passed…by and
- while Dave was returning
- from work one day, he
- saw his wife walking down
- the road with a man and
- they looked happy.
- Another evening, while
- Dave was coming back
- from work, he saw the
- same man drop her off at
- the house. Dave became
- angry and sad.
- Two days later, after a hectic day at
- work, Dave was taking
- water with a glass jug
- when the phone rang. He
- picked it up and the
- person said ‘hello dear, I’ll
- be coming to your house
- this evening to see you as
- promised. I hope …..’’
- and then Dave hung up the
- phone.
- It was a male
- voice. He was sure the
- person was the man he
- had seen with his wife. He
- suddenly became shaky
- with this thought, ‘’Have i
- lost my wife to another
- man?’’ At that point, the
- glass jug fell from his
- hand and shattered into
- pieces.
- Then Clara came running
- into the room asking, ‘’Is
- everything okay?’’ In anger
- he gave his wife a push
- and she fell. She wasn’t
- moving or getting up.
- Dave then realised that
- she fell where he broke
- the glass jug and a large
- piece of glass has pierced
- her. He felt her breath,
- pulse and heartbeat but
- there she lay lifeless. His
- wife was dead.
- In total
- confusion, he saw an
- envelope in her hand. He
- took it, opened it and was
- shocked by its content. It
- was a letter and it reads:
- ‘’ My loving husband,
- words cannot express
- how I feel, so i had to
- write it down. I have been
- going to see a doctor for
- over a week and wanted
- to be sure before I give
- you the news. The doctor
- confirmed it that I am
- pregnant with a twin and
- our babies are due in 7
- months from now.
- The
- doctor also happen to be
- my long lost brother
- whom I lost contact with
- after our marriage. He
- has promised to take care
- of me and our babies and
- give us the best without
- collecting a dime.
- He also
- promised to have dinner
- with us today. Thanks to
- you for standing by
- me…… your loving wife.
- As the letter fell from
- Dave’s hand, there was a
- knock at the door and it
- was the same man he had
- seen with his wife… and
- he said ……’’ hello Dave, I
- suppose am right, am
- Max, your wife’s
- brother…..’’And suddenly
- he noticed his sister in the
- pool of her blood …. he
- rushed her to his hospital
- but it was too late, his
- sister, Dave’s wife was
- gone and so were the
- twins..
- LESSON:
- In our relationships,
- which include our
- marriage, we should not
- be too quick in reacting
- when we haven’t
- questioned our partner or
- spouse on what we saw
- or heard about them.
- Communication, Trust and
- Patience are rare gifts we
- can bring to our
- relationship.
- Not everything we see or
- hear or believe is right
- about them.
- And to every man or woman on dis platform, I pray that patience will have her
- perfect way in you and you will want nothing because patience is that great virtue you need to keep any
