Part 2
Life in a Minute, offering hope today sa mga nawawalan ng pag-asa at inspirasyon dyan, still with Emily.
Mula ng maghiwalay ang parents ni Tommy, bumaba yung grades nya sa school kaya one time, pinatawag ng teacher ang parents niya. Alam nung teacher na ang broken relationship ang reason kung bakit nahihirapan yung bata. Bago nagsimula ang pag-uusap nila, nag-pray muna sya to find the right words para magkaayos ang pamilya. Iba talagang mag-work ang Diyos, gumagawa Siya ng paraan minsan to remind us sa mga pagkukulang natin. So, pray lang kaibigan, at hwag mawalan ng pagasa.
Later friends, let’s see kung anong nangyari sa ending ng story. Dyan lamang po kayo, Life in a minute will return.
Part 3
Thanks for tuning in dito sa Big Sound, Life in a Minute uli, para sa last part ng episode ngayon.
Hindi pa rin nagkaayos ang parents ni Tommy nung matapos ang usapan nila with the teacher. Then the Lord worked. Nakita nung teacher ang isang lukot na papel sa desk ni Tommy na may patak pa ng luha. Pinabasa ng teacher sa parents yung letter ni Tommy: “ Dear mommy, dear dad, i love you…I love you…I love you. Habang umiiyak silang tatlo, hinawakan ng daddy ni Tommy ang kamay ng mommy niya then, nagkaayos sila. Oks na naman sa happy ending no. Friends, ganito katindi ang power ng prayer at pag-ibig sa buhay natin.
At isang proof lang yan that God answers prayers, lalo na kung sa ikabubuti natin. Okay, this has been Emily, until next time here on Life in a Minute.
