It only takes one small act of kindness to radically change someone’s day. What’s better is when God uses people and circumstances to bless us in ways we could have never imagined.
A few years ago, a woman named TunDe ran out of gas on the side of the road. With her gas can in hand, and only $5 in her pocket, she made her way to the gas station.
Feeling like the woman needed help, a young man offered her a ride. He paid for her gas, and even gave her all of the cash he had in his wallet. An unexpected act of kindness that TunDe has never forgotten.
Fast-forward three years to now. TunDe was employed as a caretaker for a woman named Judy Wright. During one of her shifts, TunDe shared the story of the day she’d been blessed by the young man at the gas station.
Shocked by what he was hearing, Judy’s son Chris revealed that he was the man who had met and cared for TunDe that day.
We have a mighty God who works all things together for the good of those who love Him. So I have no doubt that TunDe and Chris’ reunion was no coincidence.
The Wright family had always believed that TunDe was a gift from God when she was sent to care for their ailing mother. Now, they had no question about it.
After Judy passed away, the Wright family decided to bless TunDe in a BIG way.
Her dreams of becoming a nurse had always been put on the back burner because of financial difficulties. In an effort to turn those dreams into a reality, the Wright family requested that friends and loved ones donate money to TunDe’s educational fund in lieu of flowers for Judy’s funeral.
“To know her is to love her, and we are all in awe of how God worked so miraculously, for our paths to cross again when we needed her the most.”
TunDe’s reaction to the family’s blessing is absolutely priceless!
Helped by a stranger on a difficult day, she unknowingly retur…
After her car ran out of fuel, TunDe walked to the station, gas can in hand, with only $5 in her pocket. Sensing she needed help, a young man picked her up, paid for her gas and gave her all the money in his wallet.
Three years later, TunDe was caring for Judy Wright as a nursing aid. During one of her shifts, she shared this story of kindness with Judy’s family.
Stunned, Judy’s son Chris revealed that he was the man who helped her that day.
The Wright family believed God had brought TunDe in their lives to care for their ailing mother. When Judy died, they decided to do something to help Tunde realize her dream of becoming a nurse.
