Change of Heart

Today, I decided to go to church and surrender myself to GOD. Because early this morning it made me think that maybe it's time to change. I don’t know why it came into my mind but I just decided to do it. After my usual routine I immediately took a bath and went to church. When I was setting in the church while waiting for the mass to start, it made me realize about lots of things. Like for example, all the blessings that I received this year. It’s pretty amazing because before I decided to change and went to church, I was really thinking that this year is not good for me because of all the things that did not go well into my life. Maybe GOD purposely enlightened my mind so that I will realize that despite all the bad things that happened, I am still lucky because I’m live. There is no such thing as permanent in this world as they say, that’s why it’s better not to drown yourself on thinking about the problems that you have, because as the famous quote says “This too shall pass”. Life must go on.

Anyway, when I was waiting for the mass to start, I saw a young guy that has a down syndrome. At first, it really did not surprise me because I had my internships in a special school that has a bunch of Down syndrome students. Going back to the young guy, I was pretty amazed because it seems that he is the only one who went to church.  I observed that the young guy is praying whole heartedly. You can really see on his gestures the sincerity of his prayer. It made me think about my students in the school where I had my internship because one of my learning’s there is the purity and honesty of a special child.  They really are a perfect example of “what you see is what you get”.

As the mass was about to start and people are starting come along, it seems that most of the people don’t want to set beside the young guy. Its like, they are afraid. It really pains me seeing people avoiding him. Well, there is nothing I can do about it. So what I did, I just prayed whole heartedly just like the young guy is doing. Seeing that young guy made me think that I’m still lucky. That my problems will still just pass by.

To be and to last.
