There is a couple whose little boy, 6, has a tumor in his brain that is very rare and without treatment will kill him. They have been told that there is only one doctor in the world that has experienced success with this particular type tumor. The problem is, this doctor is in Asia.

The family, their friends, and their church all prayed for God's compassion as this little boy has grown sicker and sicker. The family cannot afford to take the boy to Asia for the necessary surgery. As a matter of fact, they couldn't afford the surgery if they had access to the doctor. Consequently, most of the prayers have simply asked God to prevent the child from suffering as the tumor kills him.

The boy's dad is a salesman at a local Ford dealership. Last week, a very well dressed man stopped at this Ford Dealership. The dad talked to him.

The customer said that he didn't need a car. He, obviously, could afford it, but he explained that he didn't need a vehicle. He added, that he wasn't sure why he had even stopped.

Upon hearing this, the dad suggested that they go into his office and talk and look over some brochures. As they exchanged introductions, the dad discovered that the man had the same last name of the Asian doctor who could operate on his son's tumor.

Upon hearing the name, the dad fell to his knees and wept. He began praying that the man might be a relative, a brother, or at least know the doctor. He was thinking that if he were a family member or knew the doctor, maybe he could intervene and make some arrangements to get help for his son.

Noticing what was happening, the other staff members of the Ford dealership began gathering around the dad and the stranger. The customer was more than a little surprised by this reaction to his name. It was only when the dad related the story about his son's tumor that it all began to fall into place. For, you see, the customer was not a family member of the doctor or even someone who knew the doctor. He was the doctor.

He explained that he is moving from Asia to begin practicing medicine in the United States. In fact, he is going to practice medicine in the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham, Al., which is just two hours from Ft. Payne. He promised that as soon as he completes his move from Asia to the US, that he would perform the surgery on the little boy, free of charge.

Now, you might ask, why would a very successful and wealthy doctor from Asia, who is in the process of moving his practice to Birmingham, Al. stop at a Ford dealership in Ft. Payne, AL?

There is only one reason that makes any sense.

Thank you, God, for being so good to us.
