The First Understanding of God's Existence

My mother and I went to Budagovo. This is where my grandmothers, great-grandmother, and relatives live. In my pocket, there was a sweet. Just one. When we arrived, I decided that I would give the sweet to Zhenya. Zhenya is my best friend, probably because we are the same age, and perhaps that is why I decided to give the sweet to her. As soon as I entered the house, I gave Zhenya the sweet, and we embraced. The day went wonderfully; we also met with Anisa, Alisa, and many others. When we were leaving, my grandmother gave me a bag with sweets. Ten sweets. A lot.

At home, we told Dad about it. Dad explained to me why I gave away one sweet and received ten in return, while I was eating them. At that time, I didn't understand how it worked. It turned out that God rewards generosity, but the reward is much greater than what you invest. I then thought that unfortunately, this wouldn't work with money. Back then, I had a dream of wealth 🤑, but now I know that it is nonsense.

Thus, for the first time, I was shown the direction to take.
