I was reminded of God's unfathomable plans for all of us... Just this week alone we are all bombarded with bad news... We might not be affected with Typhoon Ondoy but the burdens of it no one is spared... Who can dare to just sit back and relax and do nothing to alleviate the situations of our suffering kababayans? We might not have everything, we might not be that influential but in our own little ways we can be a blessing...I always believe then that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, BE IT GOOD OR BAD... It was further justified in the book of I Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Be joyful always; PRAY continually; GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"
Being joyful in the midst of crises might be easier said than done but that is exactly what God wants us to do... That's the message: Be thankful no matter what...
