I Must Have Done Something Good



Whenever I listen to this song Something Good from the Sound of Music, I stop and repeat this line, "I must have done something good."

I really wonder why this is happening to me: that when I need help, I receive it at the right time. I remember when I was in elementary I would always dream of owning many story books. I didn't have even one in the house I lived. So I would always go to the library and borrowed books to read. Then, one day, the librarian called me and asked if I could carry a stack of storybooks to my home. If only my eyes could eat, I could have devoured the books all at once.

Then in high school, while everyone else in the class was busy going to one university school to another to get the entrance exams, I only went to one college school and took the entrance exam. I passed and was able to get a full scholarship.

When I wanted to experience tasting different food from various fast food without spending money, an admirer came who would treat the whole office staff every week just to get my attention. My office mate would ask me whatever I wanted, and I'd just simply choose which fast food to order. Then it would become everyone else's choice. Funny!

At the age of 21, I decided to help in the church. I gave up my job and opportunities before me. No money, no other resources, no regular benefactors, but whenever I need a new pair of shoes or a dress or a medicine, I would have it. One day, I asked God if I could watch concerts and stage plays, I never thought He would give it to me. For almost a year, I would always get either a complimentary ticket or someone else would but a ticket for me.

Just last year, I wanted to get a job, at least, a good paying job that I enjoy but not exhausting considering my weak health. The online job was the answer. However, I needed a good working laptop with a bigger RAM, with a working microphone, and with other components needed for the job. Then I got help. I had the laptop given to me by my friends closest to my heart.

"I must have done something good." I don't know. But I'm certain that we are surrounded by good people ready to help, ready to give a boost, ready to give us hope, ready to support in any way they can just for us to live a happy life.
