Mountains of my life: Forever Soldier

More Mountains

Now, here's another mountain. Some few months ago, July, to be exact, the sixth day - it's already an imprint in my mind - some hilly portion of my life, maybe involving my family - occurred. Although this only involved something material, it affected me specially because it was first-time incident.

Jesus warned us to be careful of the "thief in the night". Although He was speaking of the last days of creation, I can also compare this to "my incident" - the one I'm talking about. Robbers took their unexpected entrance in our internet cafe, carting away some nine pieces of computers. For others, it could be nothing, but for me it was worth a fortune. They took something worth more than a hundred thousand pesos - a lot of money for us here.

It was a mountain of my life. How we were able to climb that mountain was a big challenge. I personally wanted to just stay home, disregard business and write all the memories, good and bad. Life must go on. Business must go on.

I was able to climb my mountain. My family climbed the mountain, the hard, difficult, rough, and steep mountain. What mountains shall we meet in the future, we do not know. But we have to be prepared.
