Community. This is what came into my mind upon seeing the floating community of Vietnamese people in Cambodia. I learned these people moved to Cambodia because of the war that took place in Vietnam.
God moved my heart to have compassion with them by praying for them. I was wondering how is their daily life with their fathers fishing everyday, kids going to school, women taking care of the kids, etc.
No matter what is our status in life, whether we are well provided or lacking in so many things, what really helps a lot for everyone to survive is the community that we have. We live together in a house or a community where we could help one another survive. Like in the case of these Vietnamese people, it's hard to live at the lake with your house floating on the water, and yet this community hold them together. The help of the Cambodian government, NGOs, etc helped a lot as well.
God's original design is for us to live in a community with one another, be in fellowship, expressing our love to one another and to Him. It is innate in us to help one another and yet because of sin, it was corrupted.
I pray that one day, this will village on the lake will get to know their Creator and have a strong community of worship to Him.
