Sometimes it's good to be on the down side of life. What I mean is when financially down.,
This happened one rainy season when the roof of our house were busted open by a big stone thrown by a kid. During that time we are living on a no ceiling house just a galvanize iron roofing sheet with a combination of synthetic light roofing that becoming fragile as time as it goes old.
One evening, passed midnight, we are awakened by a sound of heavy rain fall. My wife stretches her right hand towards the roof and said in Jesus name. Then I saw heavy pouring water at the corner of the house (We are living in a six by eight meters studio type house then) so I have to get and put the bucket to be the catch basin. Then we continue to sleep. Around 9:00 am an Elder of the church arrive for some hi, hello talk, just to know how we are that evening when that heavy rain falls. But within that conversation the strong pouring of rain fall once again.. She felt so bad when she saw the rushing flows of water right at the center of our home. Can you imagine eight of us lying asleep on a little space and the location of the roof hole to where the falls is coming is from the center of that space. Sister Gloria the elder is witnessing on how in God's grace can we not get wet and completed sleep all through the night? Then she asked how can you not get wet last night? Then we look at the bucket filled water at the corner where there is not even a small hole on top of it.
This is how the picture scene. At night, we put all the sofa at the sides then we put banig (Philippine carpet) at the center and together we all lay to sleep (this is our life 1986)
Now, the question is; how come we never get wet. I think you better ask the one who shifted the hole during that rainy night.
Without that poor condition, we may never witness that miracle. Thanks be to GOD..
When there is nothing you can do, God can do anything for you!!.
