Yesterday, I arrived home finding Poncy still awake and watching Toy Story 3. As soon as he found my presence, he smiled beamly, hugged me and showed me what he was watching. I so love my Poncy. He is one special sweet little guy.

I skipped dinner since I had a late big snack in the afternoon. I took Poncy with me in the bathroom and we brushed our teeth. We played, read and sang. Then, as I was watching the news, I feel saddened of what was happening in Queensland. Three quarters of the state is flooded because of heavy rains since few weeks ago.There are about 200 000 of people and 6000 homes affected. This ill-stricken event is truly horrifying.

What is really going on in our world? Some parts of Europe are flooded, especially Germany. In Brazil, many died because of flooding. In US, all States have snow except Florida... La Niña... El Niño.. Global warming it is..

I have experienced the same scenario in 2009 when Typhoon Ondon hit Manila. Heavy rains brought enormous flood to different cities. Poncy, only 5 months then, had to be evacuated to the neighborhood with higher grounds. Many people have lost their homes. Many businesses affected. Many died.

I know how it feels and I know that this kind of event unites people to love, to care, to share, to help and to give. Prayer and courage with optimism areimportant attributes in facing this kind of disaster.
