Gift

                                                                    Gift

            “My name is Jack, people. Today is the second year I believed in God. Hopefully what I will share to you all can be a blessing for your day.” I said while standing at the altar facing them.

So..

Once upon a time, I was poor and naughty and I lived with my parents.

One day when I was not home, a robber came to my house . My parents were shocked and panicked, so they hid in the wardrobe. The robber didn’t see them so he continued searching valuable things. Unfortunately, my mom’s phone suddenly rang

” ring.. ring…”

            The robber heard that sound ,so he came to the wardrobe and found them. The robber came close to my parents and said,

 “give me $5.000.000!”

But my parents couldn’t afford that much money so they said they weren’t capable to give what he wanted. However, that cold man didn’t believe them ,so he killed them. About 3 hours later, I arrived home . Shocked, I saw my parents’s death bodies were laid on the floor with their blood covered them and the floor too. Emosionally, I cried loudly remembering that I hadn’t made them proud and happy. So, I couldn’t accept that incident though time moved on.

After a year, I lived alone and became a jerk. I never let anyone near my house but, one day a man came in to my house without permission. I was angry, said bad words towards him, expecting him to go away. But, he didn’t. After out of words, I became quiet then he started to response me politely even gave me advices. Day by day, somehow we became very close even that man lived with me. His name was Doddy. He was wealth, polite, and a generous person. He gave me lessons and courses to educate me with good characters.

Then, someday I realized, that I shouldn’t be like this. I knew that I was wrong and I always cried at night everyday. One day, Doddy invited me to go to church. I was amazed by the church, then I met the pastor with Doddy. We talked with pastor, and he gave me some advices and the importance to have faith in God but I still hated God because I thought that God was unfair.

God let my parents died, leaving me all alone in this world. But one day, Doddy went out but not with me. I was waiting so long till the sun set. I was bored so I watched television and what I saw was Doddy died , because of being hit by a car. I was sad.

            After that incident I went to church again and prayed. After that, I went back and felt tired. So, I took a bath and kept thinking of that then I realized that my parents was the greatest gift of all. Then a man suddenly appeared and talked to me. I told that man what made me sad and I really wished I could apologize to my parents and Doddy. Suddenly, that man shined and used a spell. Suddenly, my parents and Doddy showed up in front of me. Then, I said all of my regrets for my bad behaviours to them and said sorry. Then they hugged me and smiled sweetly to me. Within a second, all of them were gone. That time, I knew that God was giving me a second chance to be better person and I decided to believe in God until now.

“Lastly, remember that the thing is be good to everyone so that you won’t have regrets for the rest of your life. Thank you for listening hopefully it can be useful to you all.” I said as I walked down slowly from the altar and people were clapping their hands for me.
