It was so cold. Snow was falling, and it was almost dark. Evening came on, the last evening of the year. In the cold and gloom, a poor little girl, bareheaded and barefoot, was walking through the streets. Of course, when she had left her house, she’d had slippers on, but what good had they been? They were very big slippers, way too big for her, for they belonged to her mother. The little girl had lost them running across the road, where two carriages had rattled by terribly fast. One slipper she’d not been able to find again, and a boy had run off with the other, saying he could use it very well as a cradle some day when he had children of his own.

Sanni locked himself in his room praying and crying in bitter tears. His heart was filled with deep sorrow, he needed 100,000 naira and he needed it badly. His status depends on it. One thing he hated most in his life was embarrassment and it felt like his life was about to be upside down. He had never been to the police station before but last night he dreamt that the police had come for him. He was owing a person 100, 000 and every means to repay his futile. He had posted the borrowers but failed to meet up and he was threatened that Monday, noon was the last chance for him to pay. Today is Friday and a bank alert from a friend came in, it was the exact amount he needed—100,000 naira. That night he knelt by his bed crying silently thanking God from the bottom of his heart. “Thank you, ah! Thank you,” he repeated again and again.

In a quaint village nestled between rolling hills and valleys of Mount Kilimanjaro, Thomas, a humble farmer, faced a severe drought that threatened his crops and livelihood. With each passing day, the parched fields seemed to mock his efforts. Desperation crept in, and Thomas turned to God for guidance. One night, as he knelt in prayer, a vision filled his mind: a vivid image of a bountiful harvest and abundant rainfall. Emboldened by this revelation, Thomas decided to plant seeds despite the arid conditions. His friends mocked him, the villagers laughed at him. On the verge of doubt, he wanted to stop but devoted his thought to making an irrigation system and a water reservoir. It’s been months since he planted his crops. One day, he stood on this farm, and in a loud voice, he prayed. He reminded God of the dream, he had some months ago. The sun scorched on his skin till tiny sores emerged and sweat rolled on his face like showers.
