Mother Nature’s Rage

Typhoon Ondoy struck so many lives and families last Saturday. Until now, some of our countrymen are still grieving and seeking help in their distressed situation. My family was not spared. My parents’ house in Bricktown, Paranaque got flooded too! When I went there yesterday, my knees got weak and my heart broke! I’ve lived there for 22 years, grew up in that place and had lots of good memories. And yesterday, everything fell apart! Most of the possessions that my parents’ have acquired through the years went down the drain. We may not comprehend why these things are happening right now? But I’m sure that God has a plan and a purpose for this. As my parents’ say, there’s always sunshine after the rain! We may be feeling down right now but we know that we’ll rise up through all these challenges with the help and love of our Lord.

I can still say that we’re lucky and we’re blessed because all our family members are safe. Nothing really bad happened to each one of us. Those personal properties can be replaced but not a person’s life. For this, we are very grateful!

I pray for all the Filipino people and families who’ve been hit by Ondoy. May the good Lord help them and give them strength in this time of sorrow. May they soon find solace and refuge.

Let us keep on praying.
