How long has it been since you thought about the flood victims in the Philippines? 
When things like the flood happens and you haven't expereinced it yourself you can't really know what it's like. Things we don't really know we tend to forget. We feel so bad when we first hear the news but so often we soon forget. So my questions is, “Have you forgotten?”
Well the people that survived the flood haven't forgotten. Some of them are still mourning the death of loved ones lost in the flood. Remember, people died in the flood. Some of them are still struggling with trying to find a place to live. Remember people lost their homes and possesions in the flood. Some of them are wondering what to do about jobs and business. Remember people lost jobs and businesses because business were closed temporarily and permanently in the flood. Many businesses were destroyed. Remember.
It's too easy to forget. The news media makes big headlines when something bad first happens, but soon the stories become less and less until you hear no more about it. Then we start to forget. But those people are still there. People are still mourning the death of loved ones. People are still without places to live. People are still out of work. People are still without enough food. People are still without clean drinking water. I know I repeated myself but it was intentional. We need to remember. Let's not forget.
Some will say, “Well it's too bad to remember and there is nothing I can do anyway.” Well that's not really true. If you can't help with money or food or clothing, you can pray. Pray really does change things.
Remember the flood victims and remember to pray.
