“Expect the unexpected.”
This adage proves to us that we must be ready to face what the Lord will surprisingly give to us. Every thing happens for a purpose, and with a purpose.
Every person experiences happiness every time he achieves and even receives something worth for him in an unexpected clock. Big or small, still, he must be grateful enough for a thing he receives in a person who believes that he was “the chosen”. Funny thing to imagine, some circumstances happen to someone, which we twice think or don’t even think that he was the one that will gain such merits. On the other side, God is right and will never fail choosing of who will seize that gift.
Last December, the Supreme Student Government (SSG) held its program with the theme “Sa Donasyon Mo, Anong Ligaya Ko”. Each section has the opportunity to get a grocery, which was the main event and objective of the program. Many students got the chance to bring home some of it; one of those thankful students shared how he felt of what God (and with the help of SSG) unexpectedly sent to him.
Namely Ferry Jay Dejucos, a Fourth Year student of Nagpayong High School was just one of thousand students crowded in the boxes of entry names for the raffle. He did not expect that his name will be picked nor he did not expect any thing that his name will be involved on the program. As the following names approached and called, he was in a silent corner only and joined the crowd to cheer others. And when his name was shouted, he was astonished—sort of different feelings invaded him: shocked at first, followed by blissfulness with a glittering in his eyes. Some of his classmates were very happy for him and for what he received. He shared some of the drinks (one of the grocery items’ bit) for his classmates who welcomed him back to their area and gave them “a toast” for cheering him up in the aisle. He never imagined that out of the raffle boxes with more than 50 names in it, he was the one that will be selected to grasp the grocery. After the program, he went back homeward. He started to imagine how his mother and his family would put up their happiness of what he will bring home. And he was right.
Shifting to a combined story, her sister wasn’t able to celebrate her birthday because of lack of budget. Their food preparations were already planned for Christmas and it is insufficient too. Fortunate enough to be picked as one of the luckiest student during the program is one of the reason to have a jolly Christmas spending. Ferry Jay said that the SSG Program gave them the chance to celebrate Christmas with a big smile on their faces especially, with her sister who celebrated her birthday last December 17, 2010. He also added that if ever there were no other preparations for her sister’s birthday, they will celebrate the two occasions in one final time. But God heard what he uttered, he unexpectedly received grocery items from the SSG.
He wanted to thank all of the SSG officers especially Mrs. Marasigan for having the gift they shared during the Christmas month. Those items are just one day to cherish but a whole-life to remember. The SSG Program was a great help for those students who cannot celebrate the Christmas completely.
Having a strong faith in God never fails any one to expect what is impossible. Even if it is just one out of one hundred possibilities, don’t lose hope. God will always make and give a right way at the right time for us to achieve what we are aiming for. Like Ferry Jay Dejucos, we can also apply the things he do: to wait and at most, to have faith. There is always a chance for us.
