Floods...again

I'm sorry because the sad events in your country. I hope your folks are getting the necessary aid. Lately there are many catastrophes on the earth. Now we have to be more solidary to each other in the world. God bless your country and happy new year too, despite disasters.

I'm very sorry to see these catastrophes seemingly relentlessly batter your part of the world. I don't believe it's got anything to do with 2012 or predictions about it; rather, it's more likely due to changing weather patterns all over the globe. Regarding prayer, wouldn't it be better if people prayed to be SPARED these calamities first, instead of asking God to make you strong in faith through them? Besides, how much help will the people get from the government/charities whenever these floods come?

hi neelia_lyn, It is not new to us whenever we hear floods devastating certain places here in the Philippines. I think, this happen because of our own doing. God is good and He doesn't want this to happen. However, we keep on abusing what He is giving to us. We don't have discipline. Just take for example the trees on the mountain. If we have discipline in ourselves and really have concern for people, then we should be aware that once we cut trees on mountains and do not replace it with new ones, it will surely bring negative effects. Now, after what happened to the city of Cagayan and Iligan, people keeps pointing fingers to one another. In my opinion, I think that even how many calamities destroyed our country,if people will keep on doing what they are always doing, nothing good will happen because people are not learning from the history. We will always experience such floods and landslides and I do not doubt that predictions on 2012 can be possible because of lack of discipline and greedy intentions.

Yes, it's indeed scary that floods keep coming to all our places. But it's indeed devastating for those heavily affected by it. Let's not think of those predictions, but do what we must have to do in order for ourselves to be ready when disasters strike. Let us all pray fervently for God's help at all times. Happy New Year too, my friend!

I also watch the news and i feel so pity on the baby that lost because of the flood. I hope someone see the baby alive and save her. I keep on praying for the safety of other. By the way this coming new year i wish that no people will die because of explosives because lately i heard on the news that even its not yet the new years eve there are so many children and man become wounded because of explosives.
