The Implications of Typhoon Sendong
Pasko na ba? Bigla ko namang naitanong yan sa sarili ko, sa kabila ng lahat ng nangyayari.
One of the reasons why I'd say it's Christmas, it's the people, they seemed to be happy anywhere anytime, joyful Christmas Parties, joyful Christmas lights, lanterns, reunions, giving gifts and any other joyful things they do. And of course, the essence of Christmas, the climate changes into a very cold and fresh air, and that's no doubt, it's Christmas indeed!!
How do i find it?
It's something few days to go, before December 25th, but until now, I still find it so disappointing, so sad and it seem to me it's still not Christmas season. Why? Behind of those happenings around us, the tragedies and the lives who just lost because of the Typhoon in CDO and Iligan City and any other Cities and places over the Island of the Philippines. That Typhoon resulted a lot damages, houses were being wrecked, trashed and being broken. Many people's life were being caught dead and and the most hardest part that I ever felt bad, it's children's life, and it seems like 'as many as the typhoon can', and sometimes, it never stops me of thinking why is this happening, I thought it's Christmas and I know, it is really hard for us to celebrate and just be joyful, that suddenly it remind me that I don't deserved to be happy because there are still people who can't celebrate the Christmas.
On the news, on the Televisions and other news publications, all I can see is the tragedy due to Typhoon Sendong. You know over 600 people were dead, and can you imagine how the Typhoon did that in just 2 days? Well, it's just very devastating and very sad to know about this.
There is no fireworks in Davao City, it was banned. So, I have two (2) main reasons why my Christmas is not that very joyful. It's lonely in a way there are no fireworks that probably would give us the essence of Christmas, which provides us noise as our way of worshiping God yet the peace is covering around us though. And the second is about what had happened in Cagayan de Oro City(CDO) and Iligan City, because until now, the number of dead people really counting and counting.
You know what's my point of view why I'm publicizing this post?
Yes, it happened, that Typhoon really took away hundreds of lives. It's suddenly devastating and just maddening to think about it because it's Christmas but it can't be that Christmas. What do you think why it happened? I wonder how do think about it to survive, but actually, all of these, happened for a reason, it's not about the perfect life we always look forward to but it's about challenges and tests with how we remember God everyday in our life, of how we appreciate God. Sometimes, God only listened to people who are really sincere and true to Him, and of course we can't lie to Jesus. Life is really beautiful, that's when you know how to appreciate life and thank God in every little thing you have just received today. So the tragedy, thank God because it challenges you, it makes you think things on how to be a survivor of God, and it makes you become a strong person behind of those affections made by the Typhoon. Maybe you can probably say |yeah, I can only say this words and think that it's easy for me to say these because I'm not the one who is experiencing that bad things right now, or I am not literally affected" it's true, but for now, this will serve as our guidance and inovations for us to move on in life, to move forward. Let's not forget that we have our own goals in life that God has give. It happened for a reason, it happened because God has His purpose. Learn from it and go on... You still have the chance, the life and the reason to live. Life must go on.
Celebrate Christmas, be happy today and forever because that is what God taught us. Give love not just on Christmas but give love everyday...
