God`s
sharp whetstone
God uses suffering as a whetstone to make
men sharp with. Every person overcomes
obstacles in their life. Some people learn from their problems but some people
are upset and they can`t overcome. I
had a big whetstone in my life. And I understood a lot of things from that
whetstone. Now I want to write about it.
It happened when I was in the second class
and the day was whitemoon`s eve. I lived in the countryside with my loved
people who are my parents and a brother. My father was a chairman of Citizens' Representatives and mother was a history teacher. Also my brother
studied the 3rd grade. We lived very happy. My family prepared to
celebrate whitemoon and all things were ready. Also we bought many presents for
people. Everyday my parents went to their job in the morning but my and my
brother`s lesson started in the afternoon so they always locked us at home
because we were too little to stay at home without any adult. Luckily that day
my parents didn’t locked us because we wanted to play outside so my parents let
us to play and didn’t lock the door. Then we went to the mountain to slide on a
sledge. But suddenly we saw black smoke near our house in the sky. Then we
heard that our house was burning. When we knew that we run as fast as we could
to our home. Then I couldn’t believe in my eyes. My house was burning and many
people were trying to put out the fire.
Then we hadn’t home to sleep and we stayed
at my grandmother`s and celebrated whitemoon there. Also me and my brother
hadn’t any clothes to wear so our cousins gave some clothes. And my father was
very upset and didn’t eat anything. As well as he left his job. It was a very
difficult for us. So sometimes my mother cried. A few days later we bought a
new house and one day my mother said that “We are very lucky because we are all
together, If that day we locked our children in the house what would happened?
I can`t imagine that” and she kissed me and my brother.
All in all those things weren’t a problem
for me. Instead of it sharpened me and help to understand a family is the most
important thing for human life. I understood that money, houses and cars aren’t important
in life. We can get those again. But real life existence happy family. If we
lost one of the our family`s member we can never get him or her again. Three
years since this time we have been living happy again. Now we have all
everything we need things. I think I am the happiest and the richest girl in
the world, because I having all members of the family alive. I`m really satisfied
with my life and really proud of my parents specially my mother. I
see that problems are really opportunities to learn about life. See the beauty
of everything.
