Some people came into our lives and becomes the best thing life can offer us, they became so extra ordinary in ones journey that you can't fathom how to describe their kindness towards you. Sometimes I begin to wonder what have I done to deserve all these show of kindness and love showered on me?. Most times, people that showed me love the most aren't even related to me, I'm just privileged to meet wonderful set of people who are willing to be of help at either the Church, my place of work or in my neighborhood.
I've come to realize that in so many ways I've received unconditional love in which I feel I don't deserve. This prompt really made me go down the memory lane and I realized that countless times people had blessed me without me asking. Since childhood up till now by God's grace, I've been blessed and loved by numerous people to the extent that I would be thinking maybe there is a secret behind some people's show of kindness to me. But on the long run, I would discover its just out of the goodness of their heart and no string attached.
Out of those numerous special individuals that has loved me unconditionally which I wish to talk about today was a Youth Pastor in my family church, the man and his family loved me so much to the extent that people started getting jealous of me because of the privileges I enjoyed. My house isn't far from my family Church, So I'm always present in Church programs if not almost all program (anyways I'm still a church girl 😆).
The Pastor and his family was transferred to my church in the year 2012, during that year I was still struggling to be admitted into the university. God so good in 2013, I was offered admission into University Of Ilorin in Kwara state Nigeria, so throughout my 4years study I went to school from home.
I don't know the reasons why this man and his wife so much love me so dearly, I was thinking maybe it's because the man and his kids are as fair in complexion as me but I was wrong because the shower of love was beyond that. The man placed me on a monthly allowance for my upkeep in school for good 4years, the first time I saw his credit alert I thought he wanted to send me on an errand, when I called him and he said it's for my school runs I literally go mad cause I was shocked and couldn't believe such act of kindness, when I told his wife she said is just to appreciate me and also to make schooling convenient for me.
Then during my final project in 2017, he asked me how I'm going to type set my project. I told him I don't have a laptop but we have a desktop at home, so I said I'm going to manage the desktop and augment it with my phone. To my greatest surprise, he handed over a laptop with its bag to me and he said I should return to him whenever I'm done with it......wow....I bursted into tears because typing on the home desktop isn't that convenient cause of electricity supply. I used the laptop for a whole semester till I printed and binded my final project without him asking for it. I don't think I deserve this unconditional love that himself and family has showed and still showing me.
Till date we still keep in touch, through his show of love, my family and his family had become so close that sometimes ago someone asked if the man was my Mom's younger brother. He and his wife are just so good beyond comprehension, I don't think I can ever repay them for all their kindness and love towards me. So if you ask me what did I do to deserve such a person and family? Hmmmmm......I don't think I have the correct answer to give
Thanks for reading and have a pleasant weekend.
