Cant Stand Sitting Down

At the height of super typhoon Haiyan's aftermath, I cant help being grateful.

I am really inspired to see a lot of foreign countries, NGOs, businesses, celebrities, even private citizens extending help for the victims of the super typhoon Haiyan (local name: Yolanda) in Visayas. 

There's this album by one of my favorite Christian bands, Stellar Kart, entitled 'We Cant Stand Sitting Down.' Maybe that is what everyone feels these days. Pagod na silang tumunganga lang sa harap ng computer or TV at maawa sa mga taong nabiktima ng bagyo. They just had to do something--regardless of their social status, religion, nationality, race--to be of help. 

It's Bayanihan at its finest.

It brings tears in my eyes, a tug in my heart, hope and yes, restoration of faith in humanity. 

Thank you, Lord. :)
