More than a month had passed since the devastating typhoon Ondoy hit our country. Our capital was targeted and many people lost their homes and material possessions, what's worse was that there were lives lost, too. Massive relief efforts were made, especially by those fortunate to have their homes intact.
What struck down our homes,
When the strong winds blew,
Thick curtains of rain
Made pools of flood water,
Thick, soft carpets of mud;
Also struck a chord,
A call to realize:
God's longing for us,
To look upon heaven
As our permanent home,
Earthly things fade away.
We are very blessed,
In turn be a blessing
To those in dire need,
Thus serving the Lord,
This is our ministry.
