God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

By Anita A. Bagabaldo

Ching and Lu were brothers. They lived in a four-storey building with

many other families.
One early dawn in August 1968, the brothers were fall asleep in their
room. Suddenly, they were awakened by the strong shaking of the building.
Both brothers knew instantly that there was a strong earthquake. In a second,
they found themselves buried under tons of bricks, cement and wood.
 Ching and Lu could hardly move. “Come, Lu,” Ching said. “Let us try
to get out.”
“How can I when I can hardly move?” whispered Lu. “Try, dear
brother, and pray,” Ching said. But Lu did not move. On the other hand,
Ching tried to get out of the mounds of rocks and wood. He prayed to God
to help. Later he touched the side of a wall. He got a piece of rock and tried
to pound on it with all his might.
“A Miracle!” cried Ching as he heard someone pounding outside
the wall. “They heard me at last! I’ll be saved.”
After long hours of waiting, Ching saw a hole on the wall. Soon he
felt strong hands drawing him out of the wall. Ching was saved. But Lu could
not save anymore. Help came too late for Lu. He died along with hundreds
of people who buried in the building by the strong quake that August dawn.
Many people were saved. Like Ching, they believed that God would not
forsake them if they helped themselves. God helped them indeed.
