Tragedy revisits!

Flattened houses, buckled roads, uplifted vehicles, uprooted mature trees, fallen electric poles and layers of mud and debris marked the carnage that left many injured, crying, in shock and in fear of more landslides.

Among the heart wrenching stories are that of a father who tracked his son down in the rubble by calling him on his mobile phone only to find his hand sticking out still holding onto the phone; a mother who rushed in to save her son but lost her life; and a mother of a two-month-old baby who perished while the baby survived.- The star 7th Dec 2008

Hearing this news really made my heart sank deeply. Firstly, I rejoice and thank God for His faithfulness & His protection over my family. Really thank God that it happened about a kilometer away from our place, thank God that it happened at a time where my family weren’t on their way down the hill, I thank God that we are saved – the entire household.

On the other hand, my prayers are with those who became the victim of such disaster. It became something so common now… heavy rain & landslide – it got to be Bukit Antarabangsa. Lives are robbed away by an event that took place for few minutes. Houses and families torn apart. The extent of love of the mothers reaching out to save their kids. Just pray that God’s peace and comfort will be with these families. Pray for strength and unity that rest deep in their hearts.

Just reminded of this verse:-

Joh11: 25Jesus said to her, I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on) Me, although he may die, yet he shall live; 26And whoever continues to live and believes in (has faith in, cleaves to, and relies on) Me shall never [actually] die at all. Do you believe this?

Salvation & eternal life through Jesus Christ!
