Imagine losing everything when you didn't have much to start with. We have a lot to be thankful for here.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Prayers for those folks.

I’ve been in these Manila slums before. Until you actually see people living in such squalor, you can’t quite comprehend it. These are nothing more than shacks. Praying for the people who lost their homes.

[al baby]

Amen to that very sad indeed

[Ellendra]

and four people were injured,

That right there is a miracle.

Prayers up for those affected.

Probably illegal squatters, and the guy who owned the property wanted them cleared. One clue is that no one died. Usually arsonists are careful, but natural fires often kill people.

Our town’s open air market mysteriously burned down a couple years ago when the crooked mayor wanted to rebuild it. No one killed, thank the Lord, but a neighbor lost all her supplies in her kiosk.

I spent 2 weeks in those slums about 3 years ago. I wandered then when a big fire would happen.. and there it is.
