Miracle

Yesterday I received a miracle. I’ve probably missed millions of miracles each day. But yesterday’s miracle hit me in the “this is a miracle and cannot be ignored” sort of way.

Funlayo came to bring me a few supplies (milk, bread) because of the overzealous PT session I been to on Thursday. She said she had something special to give me and took out a red-foil wrapped goodie. Then she began to tell the tale behind this tiny package.

She’d been in Helsinki last weekend. While there, she met someone she doesn’t see often, or know well. He came up and asked her if her mother was "Susan". He was looking for Susan. He had contacted someone else about Susan and had been directed to another person with that name. He quickly realized she was not the Susan. But he told Funlayo that when he saw her, he knew that she was the right “Susan’s” daughter.¨

He’s an interpreter and had been working in Turkey with a group visiting Edirne (formerly Adrianople). Among the group were three young women from Iran, who became very excited to know he lived in Finland. They asked if he knew Susan, because they wanted to send her a gift.

Merci Khanumha your miraculous gift has been received.

WOW! That's amazing! That adventure for him to bring the gift/miracle sounds like something out of a wonderful novel or cozy movie!
