the pitcher of water

Sometime back, in a book named "Simple Wisdom" by Maulana Wahidduddin, I came across a beautiful story. Before I should say anything else, read the story:

"A man used to live on a desert, and who, urged on by his wife, agreed to take an offering  to the King in the city. The offering was a pitcher of rain water, which the man and his wife had laboriously collected. They considered this water precious because it was sweet compared to the brackish water of their well, their only major source.Meagre though the offering was, the King received it in the spirit it  was offered and, emptying the pitcher, filled it with gold. The King also arranged for the man to return to his home on a boat. Seeing the vastness of the river on which he travelled, the man marvelled at all the water the King had at his command and at the way he took the poor man's meagre offering and rewarded him.


The King is God and his bounty is as boundless as all the water on earth"

God has made us one of His best creations. If we look around us, there are so many beautiful wonderful things created by God, but truly, we have been blessed by being made the best.
If we look at the human body, it is one of the most complicated systems. when I was in primary school, each student had to go to assembly and say an astonishing fact. When I had my turn, my teacher asked me to tell everyone that, Laid end to end, the blood vessels in an average human body can stretch 2 times around the earth.
