It's a Miracle

Saturday, 21:00

"Halle~~luu, Halle ~ ~luu ~ uu ~ jah ~~~"

The choir has just wrapped up their weekly practice and it went perfectly fine. Everyone was in tune, in tempo, and all of them came together in excellent harmony. Each and everyone was satisfied with their practice since they have been doing that for years now and they are singing their hearts out weekly.

Carol, the leader spoke before them when they were about to go their separate ways.

"That was a nice session. I will see you again in practice next week okay? Same time, 6 : 00 in the evening. Donna, that's 6:00 o'clock okay? Try not to be late again okay?"

They all laughed heartily and Donna snapped back, "I would try. But then again, you know me."

The next Saturday came ...

18:00

The dark sky lit up violently with a loud and massive bang as the church exploded into bits and pieces. Debris was thrown into the air. The explosion was so big and the structure that used to be a church was engulfed in flames in an instant. An explosion with that scale would now spare anybody's life.

Cindy's House, 16:00

Cindy was folding their clean clothes in the living room. She thought that she would liven things up a bit and she turned the radio on. The radio show "This is your life" was on and she was just captivated by the show's story for the day.

She had finished all of their clothes and she got ready to go to church for the choir's practice. She looked at the clock and it's already 16:45. She figured that she still has time to listen to the entirety of the show so she sat back down on the sofa with her legs folded closely to her chest.

Celine's House, 17:00

Celine was still neck-deep in doing her assignments for school. She was really devoted to solving that math equation. She looked at the time and just decided that she will just come in late to practice, she just had to finish the equation before the formulas get jumbled in her head.

Ever since she was little, Celine really enjoyed doing math but this particular problem was so complicated that she can't really make up her mind how to come up with the right solution.

Donna's House, 17:00

After she finished washing the dishes, Donna felt the lazy bug bit her and she just collapsed onto her warm and comfy bed and wrapped herself around the warm blanket. She gazed upon the window towards the church's direction and she thought that she would be forgiven if she was a bit late or she was absent for practice.

She was not just feeling it today and decided to just sleep it all off.

Carol, 17:35

Carol just got off her part-time job waiting tables in a diner. She got into her car and was planning to drive directly to the church to make it in time for the choir's practice.

About halfway through the journey, her car broke down and it wouldn't start back up again. She was frustrated and just waited there for someone to pass by and lend a hand.

Lea, 17:55

Lea lived just a few meters away from the church so she could afford to come in late for practice. From her front door, it would take only a few minutes of walking to get to the church.

She went outside the door and put on her shoes. As she took a step towards the church she could clearly see the exact moment when the church blew up into million pieces. Bits flew into the air and a book of songs like that one they use for choir practices fell right in front of her. It was in good condition aside from the dirt and dust covering it.

Everyone could see the explosion from where they were standing. Lea, Carol, Donna, Celine, Cindy, and all other members of the choir saw the explosion and they all thought that it came from the general direction of the church.

Each of them thought that the others were caught up in the explosion and they all rushed into the scene.

When they get to the scene to witness their church into rubbles they were in a panic and were all worrying for their fellows. One by one, they saw each other, they hugged every time one person came. They were crying and looking for signs of any survivors.

In the end, the whole choir was alive and there were no reported casualties. Apparently, each and every one of them was not able to come to church in time because of varying reasons, each is different from another but all of them were absent. They sang songs of praises outside and they all share the feeling of a miracle that fell upon them that spared all of their lives.

Upon investigation, the explosion of the church was attributed to a faulty gas pipeline.

The members of the choir and their families share the same belief that it was a miracle and that God has touched their lives in a way and spared them all from the tragic event that could have had happened to them.

How do you like this story? Isn't it fascinating? What if I told you that it's based on a true story? Let me know what you think about this one, kindly drop by with your thoughts on the comment section below.

This story is loosely based on the true story shown in Unsolved Mysteries: Lucky Choir.

It's an amazing story that speaks to real-life miracles. If you do not consider that as a miracle, then I don't know what would convince you.

That being said though, I really appreciate you being here and I would like to thank you for visiting again. As always ...

Cheers!!!
