THE MAN AND HIS WIFE


A man worked as a teacher in a remote area. He decided to become a teacher because he loved kids and he wanted to share his knowledge to children in such areas. His dream was to produce children who could lift their village through their knowledge learned at school. He lived with her wife and she supported him in everything he did, including becoming a teacher.

The school where he taught was far from his house. How did he go there everyday? He would walk for several miles through woods, fields, and small river for there were no public transportation there. When it was rainy season, he would face muddied and slippery road, and bigger flow of the river. The school was also a very ordinary school where he worked almost all of the school stuff by himself. He cleaned, he painted, he fixed the roof, he prepared the school materials, and many more. But, he did it earnestly, because he believed that someday his students would succeed.

One day, because of being too tired, the man got sick. He was paralyzed. He couldn't walk or go to school, and he was so sad knowing that he couldn't teach anymore. Seeing his husband wished to teach again badly, she wanted to do something for him. She then carried the man on her back, to and from school, and she did it everyday without complaining.

The man taught again, but he couldn't help seeing his wife did things like that everyday. She woke up earlier, prepared everything for the family, yet she still had to carry him to school. Finally, the man had a plan to make her wife asked for a divorce. He was angry all the time without obvious reasons. His wife was upset, and clearly triggered to be angry too. She then agreed for her husband request for a divorce. But, beyond his imagination, his ex wife didn't let him just like that. She kept carrying him to and from school everyday.

Note:
This story is truly inspiring. A man with his dedication and a woman with her loyalty; two things that are definitely hard to find these days. If people know one thing called love, they should see dedication and loyalty too in it, because love is not love without these two things.

We also have the most perfect example of dedication and loyalty, it is Jesus. And His story is the most inspiring story in eternity. Let's us learn about love, dedication, and loyalty from Him.
