🌹 THE EMPTY CHAIR 🌹
Â
There was an old woman who lived alone in a small house at the edge of town. Every evening, she placed an empty chair beside her table and cooked food for two people, even though no one ever came.
Â
The neighbors laughed at her.
“Why do you always cook for two when you live alone?” they asked.
Â
The woman only smiled and said,
“One day, my visitor will come.”
Â
Years passed. Children grew, and the woman became weaker. Still, every evening, she set the empty chair and served food for two. Some thought she was crazy.
Â
One stormy night, a young man knocked on her door, shivering and hungry. He was a traveler who lost his way. The old woman welcomed him, pointed at the chair, and said,
“Sit, my son. I have been waiting for you.”
Â
The young man ate with tears in his eyes, because it had been days since he last had a proper meal.
Â
The next morning, before leaving, he asked the woman,
“Why do you always prepare food for someone who may never come?”
Â
She replied,
“Life is not about eating alone. If you have enough, always prepare for another. You never know whose life you might save.”
Â
Years later, that same young man became a great doctor. When he heard that the old woman who once fed him was very sick, he rushed to her house. He treated her freely, stayed by her side, and saved her life.
Â
As she opened her eyes, weak but smiling, she whispered,
“I told you my visitor would come.”
Â
Lesson: Always keep a place in your life for others. The kindness you give today may return to you when you least expect it. đź’™
