RUTHY FUNG

I was walking from QUT to the city after a whole day’s of class! As i was walking i saw my tutor waiting at the traffic light. He is the best tutor i’ve ever had so far. I love his tutorials coz of his teaching methods. Even though it’s a management subject(most management subjects makes me fall asleep in class), he made it so interesting for me. The thing that makes me more excited is that he is from Malaysia too! A place where i call home. Anyway, i was talking to him on our way to the city and he inspired me heaps. He has 3 degrees and 2 masters! So smart man. He told me stories about his friends still sailing in the market even after graduating for 2 years. I was like wow.. i don’t want that to happen to me. He was telling me about doing voluntary work. Like what daddy always say, don’t be afraid to lose. Don’t be afraid to work more. The more you learn the faster you will become a boss! We don’t need to gain something in everything we do. Even though we don’t get paid doing voluntary work, it’s good for my resume when i wanna get a job. I really wanna work in a bank after i graduate. Mainly coz i wanna get cheap loans to buy a house. Haha. So materialistic of me. I need to get out of the fresh graduate ’pool’. Unlike Malaysia, employers here look at work experience more than anything. In Malaysia, as long as you have a degree, especially from overseas, everyone is more than willing to employ you! Praise God for my tutor. I’m glad God planned this walk for us. I’m so blessed to have him as my tutor, he’s someone i respect and look up to.

Wow! So touched when i read this story. I had tears in my eyes…

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. 

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said… “Then I thank you from my heart.” 

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit. 

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. 

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words….. “Paid in full with one glass of milk” 

Signed Dr. Howard Kelly. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: “Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands.”
