The Best Thing That Ever Could Have Happened

The title is from 'Desperate Housewives' TV series (Season 5, Episode no.13).

Eli Scruggs, a neighbourhood handy man is about to retire. Whilst fixing the shingle on Susan Mayer's house, he suffers a heart attack and suddenly dies. Then people start thinking through flashbacks how much he affected their lives.

At Eli's funeral Mary Alice herself recalls how she changed Eli's life. One morning before he had any steady work, he approached her and introduced himself. Initially commenting that she doesn't have any work for him Mary Alice changes her mind when she notices Eli is wearing worn shoes and had obviously fallen on hard times. She asks him if he will fix a vase she broke for her. Eli appreciates her sympathy and initially declines but Mary Alice is insistent. A few years later now that Eli has found steady work thanks to Mary Alice recommending him to the women of the neighbourhood, Eli walks in on Mary Alice reading a note.

Mary Alice tries to be upbeat despite the fact that something is obviously troubling her, and offers Eli the vase that he fixed for her a few years ago. Eli gratefully accepts and leaves, worried about Mary Alice's fragile state but thinking it best to leave her alone. It is then revealed that the note Mary Alice was reading is the one she was blackmailed with and that day is the one that she killed herself.
Eli regrets having done nothing to stop Mary Alice's suicide. From that day forward he makes a vow to not only fix people's belongings but their lives as much as he can as well.

This is touching & meaningful message for all of us.
Can you think of anybody who has changed your life?
There are many people who changed my life but the one and only who gave his life to me was “Jesus Christ”.

We know how precious our lives are, how can we make the impact for others? Let's start from small thing to big things.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
[Ecclesiastes 9:10]
