Double earnings I live in the southern part of Brazil, in a small town in the state of Santa Caterina, where there are few job possibilities and people are underpaid. One day my father came to see me and shared with me his problem: he didn’t have enough that month to cover the family expenses. Given the circumstances, it seemed quite impossible for me to help him. I felt great pain within but I remembered that I have a Father in heaven and I turned to him with the faith of one of his children, certain that He never abandons us in moments of trial. He would provide us with what was needed. Just in those days I was offered a better job with another company. When I presented my resignation at my current job I was overwhelmed when the manager offered to double my salary because of my good performance and because of my efforts in creating good relationships with my co-workers. In that doubling of my salary I acknowledged the answer from the Father of all: He had taken care of my own father’s need who, when he heard about it, was moved to tears.
