It has been my habit to turn on the news when we get home. Last night I did just that – and the news was about the fire that gutted 1000 homes in Mandaluyong City. I initially heard about it from my nephew we met up with last night. It took him awhile to get to our meeting place because according to his sms “a big fire in Mandaluyong…”
The big fire he sms me about was really massive. 1000 homes destroyed and rendered approximately 5000 people homeless.
I looked at the clock as the news was going on. Almost midnight. I was just about to take my shower and then head for bed, whereas these people lost everything and would need to make do with sleeping inside a public elementary school.
A couple of weeks ago – it was the flood that caused the people to leave their homes. Now it was the fire that rendered them homeless.
I had a very troublesome sleep.
Lord have compassion on these people. Embrace them and miraculously provide please their needs at this very traumatic time in their lives.
It was the flood, it was the landslides, it was the fire….
Cause us not to lose our sight on you Jesus.
