Today, it's the 1st year anniversary of Bagyong Ondoy. Many families in Metro Manila, specially in Marikina, Pasig and the Rizal province were affected. Lives were lost, houses were devastated, belongings were ruined, and trauma lingered. On TV, I saw families offering thanksgiving to God for protecting them. One community puts up a church as a symbol of their rising from the tragic calamity.
"...persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed (2 Cor. 4:9)."
When we feel that we have hit rock bottom or depressed about life's situation, let's think of the Ondoy victims. They suffered, survived, recovered, and have risen. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! (Mark 16:6)"
