Thoughts & Beyond

I think it has been raining non stop for a few hours already. A few friends have posted at FB that they are getting uncomfortable already a few hours earlier. It’s past midnight now. I am praying along with many other people that this rain won’t cause any flood at all. But three hours ago according to the tweet by @dost_pagasa ” Flooding are now experienced in some parts of Barobo and Brgy Bigaan of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.” And this one “Continuous rains are being observed over Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro.” Four hours ago, this was their tweet, “Some areas in San Francisco Agusan del Sur are already flooded.”

The flood caused by typhoon Sendong and the damaged it caused is still very fresh. I cannot even watch TV because it is honestly too painful to comprehend the loss of lives especially of children (being a mother myself) and family members before Christmas. Merely seeing people who lost their loved ones bring so much pain and tears to my eyes. I cannot imagine how it is to be in  their place now. So the least I can offer is to pray for them to be strong in faith and be given hope to live and move on as they cope with their loss not just of properties but of their dear loved ones especially during Christmas.

It is raining in Iligan now. There is an LPA over Mindanao and tail of a cold front that is causing this rain. Dear Lord please protect your people and keep us all safe!
