On Habagat

This entry is written last Tuesday (August 7,2012) however, I did not find it helpful to post at that time so I had to save it for today.

As I sat on this comfy bed, leaning against a strong wall with the AC on and a good internet connection I can’t help but thank God for putting me in such a place of comfort while a lot of my countrymen are suffering from the flood that the tropical depression has caused our nation. Please don’t get me wrong God definitely love every human being He created and He doesn’t play favourites. I think that for whatever kind of situation He allowed us to be in He is whispering something in our ear.

 The bible says in Genesis 2:15 “The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and TAKE CARE of it” I am not protesting against anyone here, I only wish to remind ourselves that even in the simplest thing that we ought to know by “common sense” God is kind enough to still instruct us to take care of what He created for you and me. But what do we do? “sigh”


I bluntly uttered my inmost annotation as I watch the television with one of my favorite Kuyas this morning saying “tayo ren naman ang may gawa nito, tapos kasi tayo nang tapon kung saan saan lang” and this is what he says “hindi lang naman ikaw ang matinong nakakaisip nyan, kaya lang mas maraming mahirap kesa mayaman” I pause for sometime and ponder on what he meant when he say the latter then I realized the fact that there are more people who doesn’t live in a decent place where there will be garbage collectors to collect their trash and send it to the proper dump site so yes my kuya definitely made a point there and I admire him for having such witty thought. 


We all have our own set of lame excuses whenever things drifts away from what should be especially when the aftermath is unbearable. Remember that the little things can do so much; you may be one concerned citizen to keep that trash in your pocket till you come across a trash bin and my challenge to you is to do it still. 

“He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers” Psalm 1:3 We can still do something .. so LET US. May God above bless the works of your hand.
