limit


That noon, I experienced the most terrifying incident in my life
An incident that must be beyond my strength
An incident that could change my whole life and my family’s
I never ever imagine that incident would happen

I have a gorgeous 3 years old nephew, named Eugene Emmanuel
His smiling face always shining, likes the sun was shining in that noon
He is always calling my name when he comes to my house
He is always hugging me tightly when he goes home

That noon, 12.15 pm
He hugged me to say goodbye when his father picked him
“Daddy…daddy…” his father put him inside the back seat of the car
I stayed in my room, watched his smiling face from the window

Eugene is an active kid who likes running
When his father put his twin brother to the front seat
He opened the car door and ran to the middle of the street
While the red Suzuki Katana passed with the high speed

“Oh my God!” I wanted to scream but I couldn’t
All I could see was his father screamed and ran to save his child
My sister and my mother screamed dreadfully
Everyone in that house thought it was too late

I would blamed myself in my entire life for being inside the room
In the glance of second, I feel powerless to do something
“Please Jesus, save him…save my nephew Eugene!”
All I could do was only asking His grace

From the window, I saw his father returned from the street.
He got Eugene in his hand
I saw his pale face as pale as my mother’s and my sister’s
I ran outside my house to see my lovely Eugene

Thanks Jesus for saving my nephew’s life
I don’t know how and I don’t want to know
I don’t want to think it, ever
Because I can’t loss him, my family can’t loss him

Sometimes,
Things happens beyond our strength
Things happens beyond our hope
Things happens beyond our control

In that circumstances,
I am just a weak human with a limited power
Thanks Jesus, I have You in my life
A God who has an unlimited power
