The Best Time to Help

It's Christmas time once again. Everyone should be merry and relaxing this time of the year but how would you feel if a destructive typhoon destroyed, swept away and took away lives along with it? My heart goes to the victims of Bagyong Sendong that hit Mindanao provinces last Friday December 17, 2011.

It is truly devastating watching the news. But we don't have to just watched and talked about it. We can HELP them! We can help in simple ways. We can extend our love for them even in small ways. The question is: are you willing to do that for them?
