Dr. Mark, a well-known cancer specialist, was
once on his way to an important conference in
another city where he was going to be granted
an award in the field of medical research.
He was very excited to attend the conference
and was desperate to reach as soon as possible.
He had worked long and hard on his research
and felt his efforts deserved the award he was
about to obtain.
However, two hours after the plane took off, the
plane made an emergency landing at the nearest
airport due to some technical snag. Afraid, that
he wouldn't make it in time for the conference,
Dr. Mark immediately went to the reception and
found that the next flight to the destination was
after ten hours.
The receptionist suggested him,
to rent a car and drive himself down to the
conference city which was only four hours away.
Having no other choice, he agreed to the idea
despite his hatred for driving long distances.
Dr. Mark rented a car and started his journey.
However, soon after he left, the weather
suddenly changed and a heavy storm began. The
pouring rain made it very difficult for him to see
and he missed a turn he was supposed to take.
After two hours of driving, he was convinced he
was lost. Driving in the heavy rain on a deserted
road, feeling hungry and tired, he frantically
began to look for any sign of civilization. After
some time, he finally came across a small
tattered house.
Desperate, he got out of the car
and knocked on the door. A beautiful lady
opened the door. He explained the matter and
asked her if he could use her telephone.
However, the lady told him that she doesn't have
a phone or any electronic gadget but told the
doctor to come inside and wait till the weather
improved.
Hungry, wet and exhausted, the doctor accepted
her kind offer and walked in. The lady gave him
hot tea and something to eat. The lady told him
that he can join her for prayer. But, Dr. Mark
smiled and said that he believed in hard work
only and told her to continue with her prayers.
Sitting on the table and sipping the tea, the
doctor watched the woman in the dim light of
candles as she prayed next to what appeared to
be a small baby crib.
Every time she finished a prayer, she would start
another one. Feeling that the woman might be in
need of help, the doctor seized the opportunity
to speak as soon as she finished her prayers.
The doctor asked her what exactly she wanted
from the God and enquired if she thought God
will ever listen to her prayers. He further asked
about the small child in the crib for whom she
was apparently praying.
The lady gave a sad
smile and said that the child in the crib is her
son who is suffering from a rare type of cancer
and there is only one doctor Mark who can cure
him but she doesn't have money to afford his fee
and moreover Dr Mark lives in another far off
town. She said that God has not answered her
prayer so far but said that God will create some
way out one day and added that she will not
allow her fears to overcome her faith.
Stunned and speechless Dr Mark was in tears
which were rolling down his cheeks. He
whispered, God is great and recollected the
sequence of events. ....there was malfunction in
the plane, a thunderstorm hit, and he lost his
way; and all of this happened because God did
not just answer her prayer but also gave him a
chance to come out of materialistic world and
give some time to the poor hapless people who
have nothing but rich prayers.
Always be prepared to do .......
What God has prepared you for
" There are No Accidents in Life"
everything happens for a reason:-)
