When I was four years old, we used to live near a river in Suarez, Iligan City. The riverbank was our playground, together with my older brothers and their friends. We enjoyed playing there; playing games such as hide and seek, habulan, bato lata, langit lupa, and etc. We did all those things just like any ordinary child. During my childhood hours, I and my friends would always think about trying new things and as time went by, we thought that swimming at the river would be so fun.
As we were getting ready, I suddenly felt scared because I don’t know how to swim. I was left behind and, looking at them made me really jealous.
One of my brothers called me to join them. But, I doubted. Part of me was scared while the other one is really willing to have fun with them despite the fact that I don’t know how to swim.
At first, I really had a great time but since I had so much fun, I didn’t realize that I was slowly carried away by the current f water to the deeper part. And I drowned. The only thing I could see under the river was the light.
I didn’t know what to do until a hand appeared and grabbed my hand. I was saved! As I was lifted away from the river, there I saw that a friend of my brothers was the one who saved me.
I was and still is(am), very grateful to him. If I wasn’t saved, I would be just a wondering soul right now. After the incident, we got home and were scolded by our parents because of what happened to me.
I cannot and will not forget that experience in my whole life. God gave me a chance to live again and words can’t describe how thankful I am to Him. He has always been by my side, whatever I do and wherever I go.
There’s always a chance and there’s always a choice. We should not lose hope for God will never leave us alone
