Across the small river into the woods of Ketum village lives Kwesi, a farmer. The drought which lasted over two years in his village affected his work and other livestock. He lived in perpetual poverty for over two years with one shirt, a pair of trousers and a pair of shoes, since he has no money to buy new clothes. He washes and dries his clothes in his hut when dirty and waits until they were dry.

In the second week of May 2008. Kwesi thought he has had enough. He contemplated of committing suicide. Without making his intensions known to any one, he took a strong rope and headed towards the forest to execute his act. 'Man is born naked and dies naked,' he said. He therefore stripped himself naked and went up the tree.

As soon as he put the rope around his neck and ready to jump, a farmer on his way home saw Kwesi's clothes under the tree without noticing him up the tree. He examined the shirt, trousers and the shoes and found out that they were better than what he wore. 'Thank you God'. He screamed with happiness and quickly walked away with them.

How could that man thanked God for the clothes which I thought were bad that I got rid of them to die? He got the rope from his neck, descended as fast as possible after the man to get his clothes. The farmer who took the clothes doesn't want to give them to him because he found them, according to him. Kwesi explained his intension and the reason he put the clothes there.

The farmer looked at Kwesi's face and told him, 'Don't be stupid, be content with what ever that you have. Look at my clothes, are yours not better than mine? Yet I give thanks and praises to God every day, because when there life there is hope. Be satisfied with what ever you have. Kwesi thanked him for saving his life and got his clothes back.

The following month the sky opened and the torrential rain that fell refreshed the vegetables and all those worst days passed away. That year was bumper harvest. The livestock increased and Kwesi won best farmer of the year award. He is now a pastor sharing his experience with the congregation.
