The Woman Who Forgot to Be Grateful
Life Lesson: Contentment & Gratitude
There was a woman named Madam Bisi.
She worked from morning till night selling, cooking, running errands, doing business.
She made good money, but she was never satisfied.
If she earned ₦10,000, she said, “It’s too small.
If she bought a new dress, she said, “I need a better one.
If she ate a nice meal, she said, “Others are eating better.
Every day she complained,
I need more more more.
One evening, after a long day, she sat down tired and frustrated.
Her neighbor, an old woman, passed by with a small bowl of garri and smiled happily.
Madam Bisi asked,
Mama, why are you smiling with just garri?
The old woman replied gently,
My daughter, joy is not in how much you have.
It is in being grateful for what is already in your hands.
That night, Madam Bisi looked around her home
a roof over her head, children laughing, food on the table, and strength to work.
For the first time, she whispered,
Thank You, Lord I have more than I realize.
From that day, she still worked hard,
but she stopped complaining.
Her heart became lighter,
and her smile became brighter.
She learned that a grateful heart is a rich heart.
Moral Lesson:
Contentment doesn’t come from having everything
it comes from appreciating what you already have.
