Read below a story telling the importance and power of faith.
Once upon a time, there was a smart eight-year-old named Lily. She overheard her parents discussing her little brother, Ethan, who was very sick and their family was struggling financially. They couldn’t afford the necessary surgery and were even planning to move to a cheaper place. Lily heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.” Lily decided to help.
She took out her savings jar, counted the coins carefully, and headed to the local store. Trying to get the pharmacist’s attention, Lily made some noise but failed. Eventually, she banged a coin on the counter, catching his attention.
Lily told the pharmacist about Ethan’s illness and her desire to buy a miracle. The pharmacist couldn’t offer a miracle, but a kind man overheard the conversation. He asked Lily about the miracle Ethan needed, and she explained with teary eyes.
The man told her that the price of the Miracle is the exact amount Lily had saved, one dollar and eleven cents. He decided to help and accompanied Lily to meet her family. It turned out he was Dr. Anderson, a skilled surgeon. He performed the surgery for Ethan free of charge.
Ethan recovered quickly, and Lily’s parents marveled at the miracle that had happened. They wondered about the cost, but Lily knew the true price: one dollar and eleven cents, along with the unwavering faith of a child.
