Anytime I see another beautiful breaking of the day I always say thank you Lord because life is not as easy as it is spelled and it is not as easy as it sounds so whenever you have the chance to see another beautiful day like today kindly thank God and appreciate Him for keeping you alive, you are not better than those that died yesterday and is not like as if you are righteous than them but grace kept you going so praise He the Lord for His goodness and mercy over you and your family.

Empty pocket but with a bag of dreams is the topic for today and am sure you must be thinking of what I want to write about this topic don't be confused ok is just a normal struggle people face in life and am sure you and I must have faced one or two before we get to where we are now and as far as life continues struggle can never end, imagine the famous Aliko Dangote still struggling for money and more fame is it that he doesn't have enough to relax and spend but once you have it you won't want to lose it and that means what you did to have it you must do ×10 of it to keep it
Here is a story of a guy with an empty pocket but with a bag of dreams
James was raised by his mom his dad died the day he was born and he left them with nothing to survive on so when his mother came back from the hospital she doesn't have a choice but to stay strong to take care of James.
When James was in primary school he use to help people to wash plates at the eatery (canteen) when he comes back from school so that he can help his mother as well while his mother hawks bread on the street and his mother believe was that if she trained James to the university by the time he finishes their suffering will end because he will get a good job.
That's what every mother believe I guess but the government and country we are now making our dreams look like we are sleeping and dreaming because even with your good grade from the University you can't get a good job unless you know people that know people if you are from we country (Nigeria) you will understand what I mean by that so let's continue our story.
James entered secondary and then he has graduated from washing dishes to cleaning the eatery (canteen) and that makes him earn a little bit more than washing plate but his mother couldn't hawk any longer because she doesn't have the strength to walk for long so she always seats in from of their apartment to sell her bread for anyone passing.
And when her son is back from work she has closed for the day so that day they have closed even though she still have some bread left in her basket but they went inside their room while eating and talking about how their day went
Then someone knocks on their door when James opened the door it was their neighbor and she began to shout where is your mother James asked what happened but the woman won't say anything but she kept on shouting where is that your useless mother.
Then his mother show up and said what happened why are you shouting at my boy like that then this woman start to rain abuse on the both of them saying: mummy James is it me that killed your husband? So why did you want to kill my husband with your expired bread?
James mother couldn't say anything because of what the woman started her sentence with and then she burst into tears James on the other hand is a gentle boy he just took his mother inside and they both cried when they are done James mother told her son that she never sells bread for her child and she doesn't know what she's talking about James believe his mother and told her that: mom don't worry when I finish my University I will get a better job and automatically our poverty will be bygones.
