A family's story changed from bad to worse when a terrible thing happened to them. They were not the kind of family who is supposed to be going through hardship just because of the heart of giving they have. They have the spirit of giving to those in need and the orphanage homes. Mr and Mrs Lewis have two sons, Moses and Patrick and a girl patient. Moses happened to be their first child while patience is the last born of the house. Moses was supposed to be the father of the house when their father was not around but something happened to him which got the family to fall apart.
The house they are living in is their house built by Mr Lewis. He was sacked from his job just because of a misunderstanding between him and his boss. His boss, Mr Anthony is a greedy man who does things on his own without involving people. The job that ten people are supposed to do, he always gives to one of his staff to carry it out. He has been this wicked and Mr Lewis did not carry out the work he gave to him and so he sacked him just because of that very offence.
That fateful day when he got home, his house was on fire and saw people trying to find by all means to quench the fire but was unable to. He was just too confused to think and fainted. His wife and Moses rushed him to the hospital where he was revived. He was still confused and still filled with shock. How. One my house caught fire? What happened and hope no one was at home when it happened? These are the questions that were asked by Mr Lewis. No one was in the house when it happened. Someone saw it happening and called us since we were not far from home, Moses responded.
When this incident happened, Moses, instead of being cool-headed as before, changed totally. Thank God for Mr Lewis's brother who created a space for them in his house. Moses began to move with bad boys who smoke weeds. He got himself stuck with smoking hard drugs. This got him changed from the very person he was. Mr Lewis on the order hand was searching.for.a.new job that can fetch him some tangible amount of money to start up his life afresh. He began to make his way but all his efforts were proved abortive. Those who were benefiting from him rejected him and could not help him when he was in this problem.
Patrick couldn't help it, staying just at home but he decided to go out there to find himself a job which can bring forth little money to support his family. He was going with a man to carry cement and was paid daily. Patrick never wanted to relent but tried harder to do this job and indeed he was able to raise some money to feed his family and to pay for his younger sister's school fees. He stopped going to school just because of the incident that happened to his father while his mother began to sell ice blocks. She started with small quantities and at home because she was unable to rent a shop. Patience on the other hand does not. just visit dormant but always helps the mum whenever she is back from school.
They began to move forward little by little hoping that one day the light would shine on them again. Moses that was supposed to be the father of the house when things were tough for the father was not but turned out to be always sitting among bad gangs. Mr Lewis could not go out but always stayed indoors since he has tried his best to search for a job.
How on Earth would you refuse to find yourself something doing but also want to be seen among those bad gangs? Don't you think you are destroying my reputation in this town? Mr Lewis told his eldest son, Moses. Why can't you change for good and go back to the way you were back in the days? Is it because of what happened to me? Remember that God is in control of everything and one day everything shall normalize. Mr Lewis added. Moses was ashamed of himself after hearing these words from his dad and was more shameful after seeing his siblings trying to help the house come back to the same again. He quit the smoking habit. Dad!!! I promise to never get myself involved in this smoking habit. Henceforth, I will try my best to help the house instead of becoming wayward. Moses told the father.
The family became stronger and United and even more than before.
Mr Victor is a rich young man who has a company of his own. His family was so poor and was not able to pay his final year exams fees. Mr Victor met Mr Lewis who gave him money to pay for his exams fees. So, Mr Lewis was part of Mr Victor's story as he did not stop there but contributed to his higher institution's careers. When he came back home, he was told of what happened to Mr Lewis. So, he decided to go to where he was living since his house had been burnt to ashes. Victor met him at home and Mr Lewis could not recognize him any longer. Mr Victor said "I'm Victor your boy. The one who you helped some years back in the payment of exams fees." Oh...oh...oh… how are you? Hope you are good? Where are you now? Mr Lewis asked. I'm in the State now and I just came back yesterday and decided to check on you, sir. I heard all that happened to you. I'm deeply sorry Sir. Victor added.
Where are your children and your wife? Victor asked. They have gone to hustle since I cannot search for a job for now. I have tried my best but they are not offering me any job. Mr Lewis replied. The story changed for the better as Victor gave Mr Lewis some huge sum of money to start his own business and build his own house. He also gave Mr Lewis's wife some money which she can use to start up a Cold room. He promised to send patience abroad to study. Thanks a lot… Mr Lewis thanked Victor with passion. You deserve it, Sir, Victor replied.
This was how their quenched light became a joy. They were now moved from the dark to the season of light and forever light.
