A 4 hr trek to hear the Word

“Sir, I just wanted to come and greet and shake your hand,” said two young men who came to me after I taught sessions from the Word.

“Oh sure, how are you and what is your name?” I was trying to talk but had no idea of what was coming up next. In fact, I was a bit ‘surprised’ that they were not staying for the evening service. The conversation continued.

“I am Magra and this is my friend”, he said pointing to the man standing next to him. We have been blessed by these meetings tremendously.

“So good to see you here! Are you not staying for the evening session?”

“We would love to sir, but we have to reach home before it is dark”, replied the men.

“Where is your home?”

“Can you see the mountains, there? It is somewhere along that direction.”
“Unbelievable! Did you walk all the way from that distance to hear the Word?”
“Yes sir.”

“It is six now, so what time will you reach home”
“It would be about ten, by the time we reach”, replied the men as they started walking back home.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled!
