Who says, "Money don't fall from the sky?"

The next time someone says, “Money doesn’t fall from the sky,” tell them to talk with the family in Nogales, Mexico. The family was sleep when they heard a noise that sounded like thunder, which is expected during the monsoon season. Thinking nothing of it, the couple went back to sleep only to later find that their carport had a round hole in it. Not only was there a hole in the carport but the family’s doghouse was destroyed by a bulky bundle, wrapped in plastic; which turned out to be 26 pounds of marijuana! The value of the bundle of marijuana was $10,000. Maybe the family prayed for a financial blessing and the Good Lord allowed the drug smugglers to accidentally drop the bundle at the family’s home. Yeah Right!

Some of us would have followed suit with what the couple did by informing the police, while others would have chalked the incident up as “Divine intervention” and initiated a Start-up Pot selling empire. A hand few of us would have utilized the bundle of marijuana to self medicate ourselves through the daily ups and downs of life. What category would you have been in? For me, theoretically it’s a “No Brainer”, I would've informed the local authorities of my findings. But experientially speaking, I’ve never been in that situation, so it’s easy to say what I THINK I would do.

Whatever category you and I may think we would’ve been in, here’s something that’s certain; it was a blessing that the 26 pound bundle of marijuana, falling from a considerable distance in the sky, didn’t happen to fall into the couple’s bedroom because instead of contemplating calling the authorities, the next of kin would have needed to contact the local coroner’s office.

Moral of the story is, be thankful in all circumstances because it could always be worse.
