Andrey look through the
windows, his eyes watery.
He sniffed and tried
hard to stifle the sob building up from
deep within. Shaking his head, he turned around to look at the home God had
given him. His mother in law sat in the couch quite and in deep reflection.
His mother was in the
room.
And so was his wife.
And his daughter.
It was too good to be
true.
Just over a week ago,
his life was falling to pieces. He had lost his job and almost lost his wife
too. He had lost hope but just had to trust God. Now see what God had done.
His mother walked into
the Living room carrying her grandchild and smiling like she won the lottery.
Behind her was his wife. It still seemed like a movie. One minute, he thought
he had lost her and the baby. The next minute, she was delivered of the bundle
of Joy and was in good health. He walked up tp them and wrapped them in one
huge bear hug. His mother in-law joined them. There were no words, but their
eyes told stories only they could understand.
God is faithful, his
mother in-law began.
Yes, he is. He is,
Andrey responded.
They locked hands and
began to sing different worship songs thanking God for watching over them. They
hadn’t sung for five minutes when Andrey phone beeped. He ignored it but his
wife nudged him to receive the call. It was katrine.
Hey, Andrey!! She was
as lively as always.
Katrine, thank you so
much for everything.
You would have done a
lot more for me if I were in your shoes, and you in mine. I am at your door.
And you have a visitor.
Andrey hurried to the
door to open it. Before him stood Katrine and another gentleman.
Hello, Mr Andrey, the
man spoke up. I am Mr. Henry Rodriguez.
Andrey was unsure
whether to invite the man in or not.
You remember Prof.
Sharon Akintola? Katrine asked.
Yes. Of course, I do.
What about her?
I am her attorney. She
passed on last night.
Oh, I am so sorry!
Please come in. Andrey was bothered.
I have several stops to
make, sir, so I won’t be able to come in. he reached for his call card and
handed it over to Andrey. She only prepared her will two days ago. You are the
sole beneficiary of her entire Estate.
Andrey almost doubles
over.
Congratulations, Mr
Andrey. Do give me a call as soon as you can. Have a fantastic day. With that,
Mr Rodriguze turned and walked away.
Andrey stood
dumbfounded. He did not know what to make of the imcident that just happened.
Ana grabbed him by the shoulders in excitement.
You don’t know what
just happened! Katrine was letrally jumping and screaming. Do you know Prof
Sharon at all?
Andrey was quiet.
Do you guys KNOW madam
Sharon?
Katrine pounded on her
tablet and pointed out a webpage at the astounded couple. The headline
screamed, Thrifty Billionaire and Buisness mogul, Sharon Akintola, passes on.
I other words, you guys
are billionaire! An ecstatic Katrine jumped and screamed.
Anfrey hugged his wife
as the tears rolled down their faces.
Barely a week ago, he
had lost his job. Barely a week ago, all hell had been let loose on him. He
didn’t realize that while the enemy was plotting evil, God was behind the
curtain orchestrating things for his good. He marveled at how God honoured his
show of gratitude. He marveled at what could have happened if he had complained
instead. While things were going south, God was busy working out a glorious
plan.
God always has a better
plan. Like always, but still in a daze, the family got on their knees and gave
thanks to God.
The End………
