Pray for the Philippines

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Philippines, and to those who were affected by the powerful typhoon. Seeing the images from the aftermath of Supertyphoon Haiyan, I am struck once again by the power of mother nature, and the devastation it has caused.

Looking through the images posted online of damaged houses, ships washed ashore, as well as the rubble and debris...brought back vivid memories of March 11th. I send strengths and energy to the people who were affected, and hope the relief efforts will reach those who are in need of help.

Here are just some aid groups and charities we can all support to help with the relief efforts:

I know that sometimes, people may be hesitant to make donations to these organizations-unsure if the support will actually reach the people in need. However, providing the support (i.e., donations) to those who can take action at the devastated areas, I believe is one of the best ways to help from afar. And it will make a difference!
 
Just imagine...being in their shoes. By joining relief efforts, we can all help out in providing the basic necessities to live for those who are in need of support.  And let us also take a moment to be grateful and reflect on the things that we already have in our everyday lives.... our family, friends, home, a nice field to play pick-up soccer, the breath (it can be anything!) ...the daily blessings that we sometimes take for granted.
