He is a Car Mechanic, He could have Absconded with the Money, he could have squandered it! But he choose to be Honest!
Even in the face of poverty he chose peace of mind and happiness❤️.
God bless you Mr Timothy!

I think Mr Timothy deserves more than this, even if it’s 10%…so that if something like this happens ever again, he will still have the mind to do good instead of bad..what if he doesn’t have a car but he repairs cars as a mechanic. Well his reward is from God not man
