Miracle


When I was 9 year old I suffered rheumatic heart disease started from feet towards my knees I can walked during the morning and so difficult to walk during the whole day. I walked like the Japanese drama based on true story character, Aya of One Liter of Tears. Some old women and other people angry when I accidentally pressed their legs in jeepney (Philippine public utility vehicle) cos is so hard to walk. Thanks to the helped of my father. The Doctor hammered my knees using rubber hammer. In my grade 3 is the most absent school year in my life. The last time I experienced this illness at 10 year old the brother of my grandma gave me an ointment then I got healed. I so glad I walked again. And traveled everywhere and I joined lots of sports, arts and community services. I saw Jesus Christ in clouds formation and I feared at first. Then, I want to be like him even I'm not perfect and I served the Lord in the Church and people. I learned not to say any bad words. Some people I helped and made them happy are calling me Angel. I'm so feel good. When I do good I feel good. I do some of great things in my life. Old men and women likes my and I helped them in time of needs and suffering pain. They love me as their own son. They wish I would be their son. In basketball games I suffered injuries being elbowed, bruises and dislocated bones. And I'm not fight back or say any bad or profane words. They called me angel and God gave me an impossible shots to the win and makes the crowd happy. And miracle happen in one game I supposed got the ball and someone push me hard and he got the ball. Then in our I dibbled coast to coast play so fast and I jump in three point area and I look for drop pass to any of my team mates but nobody there except opponents waiting me to landed. I'm in the air still thinking what should I do?. And a still small voice said unto me, "Shoot it!" I released the ball before my feet landed on the floor. And the ball go directly to the hoop and everyone shouting and laughing I did you do that what a move. Unbelievable, even the MVP high school player hug me because of that shot. I stayed in the air in a long moment. I'm pondering about that moment in my life. It's a miracle! And we won the game I made lots of field goal made. I thank my team mates for their good assist to me. Have a nice day.
