Part 1

Good day mga kaibigan, good thoughts coming your way only here on Big Sound, with Emily on Life in a Minute.

Alam nating hindi ganon kadali ang mawalan ng mahal sa buhay. But when facing death, finding the right balance between grief and gladness is an issue of faith. I have a friend whose wife died, kaya naiwan sa kanya ang isang anak. Sobrang lungkot ang naranasan nya sa pagkawala ng asawa, he has shed many tears. Pero hindi naman sya nagpatalo sa grief, hindi sya nagalit sa Dios, buo kasi yung faith nya, na nasa piling na ng Lord yung kanyang asawa. Friend, if you’re facing tragedy right now, faith can turn your grief into gladness.

Later, I want to share more about this to you, kaya dyan lamang po kayo, I’ll be back in a while.

Part 2

Good stories and lessons we bring you, dito pa rin sa Life in a Minute with Emily.

Sa book ni Elizabeth Yates called Up the Golden Stairs, may isang story tungkol sa isang ama na namatayan ng kaisa-isang anak na babae. His friends tried to comfort him pero ayaw nya. Halos kainin na sya ng lungkot. One night, nanaginip itong father. He seemed to be in heaven where many little girls were acting in a pageant. Bawat bata may candle na nakailaw. But he saw her little daughter, na walang sindi yung candle nyang hawak. Kaya lumapit sa kanya yung ama, niyakap nya ito, the father asked kung bakit walang sindi yung candle ng anak?

Well, sorry to cut it here, continuation of this story, mamaya sa pagbabalik ng Life in a Minute, okay, please keep it right here.

Part 3

Hi again, hope you’re still listening as we continue a good story here on Life in a Minute.

Alright, what do you think is the answer nung daughter sa ama, when asked kung bakit walang sindi yung candle nyang hawak. Well, sabi ng bata, may sindi naman daw yon, kaya lang yung tears ng daddy nya ang nagiging dahilan kung bakit namamatay yung apoy nito. Meaning, the father’s tears were clouding his vision, para di nya makita yung miracle ng heaven. Friends alam nyo, we should not try to wrestle with the event of death with logic, instead we should meet it with faith.

I hope ma-remind tayo nito especially kapag nasa harap na natin ang ganitong situation. Thanks for the company, this has been Emily, inviting you again to listen to Life in a Minute.
