Storm…

Friday night, before I slept there was a heavy rains and I turned off the ceeling fan and I close the window for I felt so cold that night. When the morning comes it was still raining and it was so heavy, I felt so sad not because it was raining, I can’t understand my feelings on that day. To make my day fine I decided to washed my clothes and do my household chores. After I took my lunch I texted the nanny of my kids to know what time they will come to my place and she replied “I don’t know ma’am, I will ask sir what time?” after fifteen minutes I received a message from the father of my kids “Sorry the kids can’t come today because there’s no way, all the roads are flooded and the traffic was so heavy the cars are not moving because of the flood all over the city, hope you understand.” Then I open the television to know what’s going on. In the news I saw the streets of Makati and other places in the Metropolis are all flooded because of the over night heavy rains, many people are walking over the knee and waist high water level. I was so shocked! What’s happening out there? Then suddenly the electricity was cut off for almost two and half hours, I texted my friends and relatives if there’s an electricity in their places and they have, I wonder why in my place don’t have. When the electricity was back on, I turned on my television, I saw people are in their hard situations, people are on the top of their roofs begging for help, poor, rich and middle class and even popular celebrities whatever their social status they’re are all in the same situations. I pity on them, I feel so lucky for I am not one of them. Sunday morning it was so depressing moment for all the people in Metro Manila especially the affected areas, when I saw some pictures and video uploaded in Facebook, it breaks my heart. What can I do to help them? I wanted to help but how? Oh God why you let your people suffer? Please help those people who are in need. Yes, life can be difficult, but even in the midst of suffering we can stand firm. Dear God, when we are tossed in the winds and waves of life’s storms, grant us a calm, confident, joyful heart that stands strong against all trials. Give strength and hope to the Filipino people to come out victorious through faith, courage, perseverance-and joy in the midst of suffering.
