An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All he had left was $10. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustated as he could find no job,and nobody was ready to help him. He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had not eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean he could see their bones. Their eyes had gone into there sockets. With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them food. The old man and children prayed that God would bless and prosper him and then gave a very old coin. The young graduate said to them 'you need this more than i do.' With no job, no money, no food, the young graduate sat down under the bridge to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep , he saw an old newspaper on the ground. He picked it up, and suddenly he saw an advertisement for people with old coins to come to a certain address. He decided to go there with the coin the old man gave him. Upon arriving , he gave the proprietor the coin. The proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed the young graduate a photograph.This old coin was worth 3 million dollars. The young graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for 3 million dollars within an hour. He collected the bank draft and went in search of the old man and the little children. By the time he got to where he left them eating, they were gone. He ask the owner of the canteen if he knew them. He said no, but they left a note for you. He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to find them. This is what the note said: 'You gave us your all and we rewarded you back with a coin,' signed GOD THE FATHER, THE SON, and THE HOLY SPIRIT. 1 Kings 17:10-16; Matthew 11:28-30
