(Minghui.org) In the past two years, my husband did not get paid for his work, which resulted in no family income. So I had to go to work to cover our basic living expenses. My work hours were long, and the workload was heavy. I could hardly find time to study the Fa, let alone do the three things asked of practitioners. I also was addicted to my cellphone and acted like an ordinary person.
Master gave me hints on three occasions, and I went out to clarify the truth afterwards. But I was still not enlightened overall and found another job that paid a little more. Although I could earn more, it was still barely enough to cover our family’s living expenses. My husband’s income only paid the car loan.
Because I worked long hours and had no time to study the Fa, I developed resentment towards my husband and openly chastised him, “This family is the same with or without you.” From then on, my husband stopped thinking about making money and just played video games on his phone all day. Our child also followed along to play games.
My husband often spoke to me in an accusatory tone. Our family was not harmonious and our child, who was in school, no longer came home at noon and went instead to hang out with a classmate. I suddenly realized there was something wrong with my cultivation state, so I tried to let go of my attachment to making money and strived to do the three things well.
I found out that another practitioner needed help to repair a sidewalk. My thought was to help her for free. She told me: “If your family is in financial difficulty, you can’t do it for nothing. Doing short-term work can help solve financial difficulties, yet you need to balance things well and not delay doing what’s required of your cultivation practice.” From then on, in addition to taking good care of my child, I studied at least one to two lectures in Zhuan Falun every day and read Master’s Fa-teaching lectures at night. My xinxing improved, and I was able to practice the exercises and do the three things well.
As a result, my child became obedient and joined me to study the Fa. My husband was no longer antagonistic towards me, and I treated him kindly. He said there was a project he could work on, but he feared he would not be paid afterward. I said, “Don’t worry, just think it through before doing it.” He smiled. I hadn’t seen him smile for a long time. From then on, he spoke in a gentle manner and continued to make money by transporting goods for customers. Miraculous things then happened, and our financial difficulties were solved.
My husband had a monthly loan payment of 2,000 yuan for his work vehicle. One of his trips was to transport rice. It happened to rain, and because he didn’t buy a new tarp, one-third of the rice got wet. When he arrived at the destination, the owner didn’t want the rice and asked my husband to compensate him with 300,000 yuan. My husband collapsed on the ground and uttered, “This is my vehicle, you can take it.”
I called my husband and asked him if he was on his way back. He said, “The owner didn’t let me unload the rice and asked me to do it tomorrow.” After hearing this, I firmly thought in my heart, “Master is here!” I did not delay doing any of the three things I should do because of the matter. I felt calm. My husband called me to pick him up in the evening. I told him, “Just remember, Master is here!”
Unexpectedly, the two sisters who worked there got involved. One sister was the accountant and the other sister was a warehouse manager. They negotiated with the owner on the phone and asked him to unload the rice quickly and let it dry. He agreed to unload it. He then muttered, “How much did this driver bribe you two?” After I heard the news, I felt infinite gratitude to Master. I couldn’t express it in words. I told my husband, “Only Master can help you. As long as you believe in him!”
My husband came home penniless. His monthly loan payment was due. And every time he drove the truck to work, he needed to pay 3,000 yuan to the trucking company. The freight could only be paid after the rice was sold. The 40 bags of rain-soaked rice were worth 4,000 yuan, and we had to sell them ourselves. My husband asked me to sell the rice since he had to continue driving.
When we were at a loss, a practitioner came over. She used to be a business person and suggested that we take the rice to a residential area. As a result, the rice was sold, and we were able to pay 3,000 yuan to the trucking company. I asked my husband, “How much money do you need for your next driving job?” He replied, “I need another 3,000 yuan.” I hesitated a little and said, “Master has arranged it.” But, in fact, I had no idea how we would get the money.
In the afternoon, I went to the practitioner’s home to study the Fa before doing farm work. She said, “Here’s 3,000 yuan! I’m paying you in advance, and you can work in the field as you like.” It was unexpected that Master arranged this so well. Master was always taking care of me! I said to the practitioner, “You helped us out a lot!” She smiled and said, “Thank Master for letting us take care of each other.” My husband got the 3,000 yuan he needed and exclaimed, “This is a great help!”
Since then, my husband’s attitude has improved. He stopped playing games on his phone and actively looked for work transporting goods. The customers wanted my husband to transport their goods because he’s decent and honest. The vehicle loan was soon paid off. I know this is the power of Dafa! When we do the three things well, everything is encompassed.
Since the rice incident, I increased my effort to study the Fa, sent forth righteous thoughts, and eradicated my desires for profit and lust. I went out to clarify the truth with other practitioners every morning and tried not to miss doing the exercises. I truly felt the solemn nature of Dafa cultivation. I bow to Master for his compassionate salvation, and I thank other practitioners for their selfless help.
