The recent devastation of Typhoon Sendong to Cagayan de Oro and Iligan sent thousands of families homeless and people, adult and children alike dead and hundreds feared to be still missing. In the face of ravages of Typhoon Sendong, Filipinos both local and abroad have again proven our true spirit of Bayanihan (coming together) especially during times of adversities such as this.
As tons of relief items and millions of monetary donations continue to pour, whatever contributions we have afforded, small or big are all counted and well appreciated. Sometimes, a small thing we can do can mean everything in another person’s life.
The heart of God is close to the poor and needy. When we give with a cheerful heart, we reap the joy of sharing. He promise to bless those who bless others with a faith-filled giving.
I am humbled and grateful to my fellow Filipinos at the City of Calgary, church mates and friends who have given their good as new clothes donation and monetary contribution to cover the freight expenses in sending four (4) balikbayan boxes to the victims of Typhoon Sendong. Thank you very much for your kind heart and generosity. May God continue to prosper you by blessing the works of your hands and crowning all your efforts with success.
Proverbs 19:17
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.
