                Chicken Soup For The Soul: Think Positive is the first foreign book that I’ve ever bought. Previously, I chose to borrow my friend’s book, either as downloaded from the internet. Despite the fact that I don’t have much money, this book attracted my interest till finally decided to buy this book.

                Many stories that make me feel touched in this book, but I have the special one that I can’t ever forget. In page 278, the short story reviews about some student who had double major and did part time job. He had no spare time, especially to play with his friends because of his routinely.  Instead of played with his friends, he chose to fill his study and graduate immediately. Her friends always came to his apartments inviting him to some events, thought he always too busy joining these events. One chance, he wanted to join in some event. Even though he wanted to join this event, he was already late too registered. He was so angry to her friends and felt abandoned. Rather than study, he chose to go home and met her grandmother.

                He spent a day watching sport game while her grandmother was sitting beside her. Suddenly, her grandmother got difficulty to breath, though he helped many times. He held her grandmother hands and still gave help as he can. A few minutes later, he realized that she was already gone. Her grandmother died; even he hadn’t a chance to call 911.

                At this moment, he realized that “God does use everything and everyone to His greater glory. Even when it seems we have fallen out of favor, and He is turning things against us, it part of His loving protection.” He and her grandmother got His blessing, and because of her lateness he can see her grandmother for the last time.

                God is in control, and things do happen for the best. It’s just hand to see what “the best” is before it happens.
