FlowerbudNews: Michelle, the glamorous former First Lady of the United States says;
We meet people everyday for a reason. Some come to add and increase us, others leave us broken yet strong enough to learn exactly what circle of relationships we need and how to preserve them.
Abraham in the Bible had no idea he was taking care of angels when he opened his heart to strangers. Where am I going with this post?
You have no idea what the person you treat condescendingly would become. No idea.
In 1981 a white American girl named Catherine Donnelly gained admission to Princeton University, which was predominantly white and got the shock of her life on her first day at school. Her new roommate would be a tall lanky black American girl named LaVaugn Michelle Robinson from Chicago.
She picked the phone and called her mother immediately. She’s what?” Alice Brown asked, the tone of her voice hovering somewhere between anxiety and outright panic. She called Catherine’s grandmother and together they drove to Princeton to protest “the calamity”. Eventually Michelle was in the big room alone because someone saw the colour of her skin instead of her heart.
So in 2009 when Barak Obama became the 44th President of the United States auntie Catherine Donnelly had missed the slightest opportunity to become a very good friend to the First Lady of the United States who was just an ordinary black girl that time.
This is the capital truth: *Every favour you pray for is hidden in people who may not look like it now.
*Everything you dream of will be fulfilled with people because you are not living in space
The future is bigger than us. Ego is a capital robber of relationships that would have blessed us in future. To be egocentric is to be mentally myopic. Relationship is the goldmine of the beautiful future we dream about.
