The Miracle of Kindness - Mayowa Funmilayo
bothering him. My father explained the entire predicament to him, and the professor said
he would see what he could do.
Turns out, that professor could do a lot.
I don’t know how he did it, but somehow, that professor pulled some strings that
kept my father in the US and helped him pay his tuition. When my father told me this
story, he said the professor was going through a divorce, so he understood the pain and
could see it on my father’s face.
“Whether you believe this or not, there is no
denying that what my father’s professor did was a
miracle. It wasn’t the only one.”
Now, I don’t know if any of the people reading this story believe in God, but I do.
I believe that God touched the heart of that professor and helped him see that my father
needed help. Why, out of all the students that professor taught, why did he single out my
father? Why was my father the one who was blessed with the miracle of kindness? My
father prayed, and God delivered the answer through the golden heart of a university
professor. Whether you believe this or not, there is no denying that what my father’s
professor did was a miracle. It wasn’t the only one.
When my father was having trouble paying off school debt again, he went to meet
up with someone who he hoped could help him. When he asked the man he met with to
help him pay the debt, the man said my father had already met with him last year and
got the majority of the debt paid.
My father never met with this man.
When my father checked his debt, he saw that it had been significantly reduced.
He was confused, flabbergasted, and confused once again! How did the man meet with
my father and pay the debt when my father never met with the man? When my father
told me this story, he said God had sent an angel down to take the form of him and meet
with the man to get the debt paid. To human ears, this entire story must seem ridiculous,
right? You probably think, “Your father was probably pulling your chain, sweetheart.”
