Clearly Abdul wasn’t going to make it for the appointment. He felt upset and stressed when he found out his mistake. Sitting near him in the train was a middle-aged couple who noticed his angst as he relayed his problem to another person in the carriage. They were getting off the train shortly and, leaning over to Abdul, said, “No worries! We’ll get you to the Home Office on time!”
True to their word, at their station, the couple disembarked with Abdul, walked to the adjacent carpark and drove him all the way to Solihull and dropped his off outside the Home Office buildings - on time!
My friend, Abdul, was amazed by their generosity. “You are so kind!” he said.
The wife turned to him and said kindly, “But I would have done it for my son and I’ll do it for you!”
When Abdul came home he was euphoric. It was a miracle!” he told us.
It reminded me of another story told a long time ago: a man was walking to Jericho and fell into the hands of thieves and someone stopped ... and that made all the difference.
God often does His miracles through very ordinary people ... with quite extraordinary hearts.
