Rain

The continuing rain haunts ourselves once again. The idea of flood keeps our hearts beating faster. As a wet day unfolds, I’m helplessly reminded of those unsheltered, unfed and unfortunate individuals all left in the rain. Rains may have brought them sickness, confusion and hidden tears.

 Then I gazed at my present predicament. These people and I face almost the same current dilemma in life. At a time I was glad to be fortunate enough not to go through their misery right now. I may have severely suffered from stroke and its consequences but it’s nothing compared to those who are suffering because of the rain right now. I’m much luckier in a way.

There is one wish that we both share the same with. Deep inside I know that it will emerge. That the rain will soon stop and give way to sunshine. Let’s all pray for that to happen in His time. 

Chance....

At this point in our lives, even way back then, there’s always the presence of chance. The possibility to do it all over again. Circumstances may sometimes prevents us to or not to give it another try. Chances measure our willingness to get up from the failures, mistakes and trips we had. I guess getting that chance is what we want aside from feeling contended. Acquiring it gives the opportunity for better results, if not perfection.

Giving a chance to another is considered nobler. I know it’s hard but it’s worth trying. Giving a chance opens up new possibilities and growth. Handing this to another with an open heart makes you partly selfless and a true Christian. Give that desired chance.
