Poor Man On a Bike

Poor Man On A Bike There is a viral photo of an Indian/Bangladeshi on a bike... With 5 little children and his bedraggled suffering wife.... They all are seated on the bike, one kid seated up on his neck... Another was sandwiched between him and his wife seated behind..... Another kid was seated precariously on the handlebar of the bike... One child was seated in the front basket to sandwich his kid brother against the father... You and I, we see a poor man on a motorbike.. We shake our heads and wondered inwardly how they survive.... For the poor man, his children are his wealth.... With blessings from God above, he will be alright... Yes, for the present he suffers to provide... But over the passage of time, his many children will prove him right... The poor man knows, it is a challenge to provide for his large family... But when they are grown, they are priceless assets he owns... For the poor man and his wife, his children are God given assets.... His duty is not to moan and groan why, his is to provide and survive.... Heavens on earth comes later when all his kids are grown... For the present, he is just another Poor Man On A Bike.... Hohoho....
