Our 4 Wives!

-

This is something to think about: 4 WIVES
Once upon a time there was a rich King who had
four wives.
He loved the 4th wife the most and adored her with
rich
robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He
gave
her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always
showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However,
he feared
that one day she would leave him for another.
He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and
was
always kind, considerate and patient with him.
Whenever the
King faced a problem, he could confide in her, and
she would
help him get through the difficult times.
The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had
made
great contributions in maintaining his wealth and
kingdom.
However, he did not love the first wife. Although she
loved
him deeply, he hardly took notice of her!
One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was
short.
He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, I now
have
four wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone."
Thus, he asked the 4th wife , "I loved you the most,
endowed
you with the finest clothing and showered great care
over
you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep
me
company?"
"No way!", replied the 4th wife, and she walked away
. without another word.
Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.
The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I loved you all
my
life. Now that I'm dying,will you follow me and keep
me
company?"
"No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good!
When you die, I'm going to remarry!"
His heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always
turned to you for help and you've always been there
for me.
When I die, will you follow me and keep me
company?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied the
2nd wife. "At the very most,I can only walk with you
to
your grave."
Her answer struck him like a bolt of lightning, and
the
King
was devastated. Then a voice called out: "I'll go with
you.
I'll follow you no matter where you go."
The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She
was
very skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and
neglect.
Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken
much
better care of you when I had the chance!"
In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives:
Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time
and
effort
we lavish in making it look good, it will leave us when
we
die.
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and
wealth.When we
die, it will all go to others.
Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter
how much
they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay
by
us is up to the grave.
And our 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in
pursuit of
wealth, power and pleasures of the world.
However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us
where ever we go.Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it
now,
for it is the only part of us that will follow us to the
throne of God and continue with us throughout
Eternity.
Thought for the night:Remember, when the world
pushes you to
your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.

US researchers find a cure to HIV?

THE cure for the dreaded Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) may be on the way soon with the report yesterday of two patients who were given bone marrow transplants to treat cancer remained free of the virus even after stopping HIV treatment. The results presented at a meeting of the International AIDS Society in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia may yield growing hope that the virus could someday be cured, not just kept in check with a cocktail of medicines as it is now. Giving an update in an eagerly followed trial, researchers said an HIV-positive infant in Mississippi, United States, who was put on a course of antiretroviral drugs within a few days of birth had remained free of the AIDS virus 15 months after treatment was stopped. In Boston, United States, two HIV-positive men who were given bone-marrow transplants for cancer also had no detectable virus 15 weeks and seven weeks respectively after stopping AIDS drugs, a separate team reported.

The last time I saw it was in the hospital,mum told me she was at a hospital in sagamu so I just came from school to see her nd when I got there,she couldn't recognize me. I haven't talked to anyone about this since but this pained me more than anything,I held her hands and called her,she looked at
