at magpasalamat kayo sa Diyos sa lahat ng pagkakataon; sapagkat ito ang kalooban ng Diyos para sa inyo sa inyong pakikipag-isa kay Cristo Jesus.

1 Mga Taga-Tesalonica 5:18

Agad na bumungad kay Alley ang complaint mula sa isang kliyente at nagpa-move pa ito ng deadline. Despite the stress she said, “Thank You, Lord for Your provision through this project.”

Then, she got a call from home telling her that her son is sick. The medical insurance also informed that they will only cover a small part of the bill. Nang makarating siya sa ospital, nalaman niyang may COVID-19 ang kanyang anak. Despite her financial need, tinanggihan ni Alley ang kliyenteng kausap noong umaga dahil hindi niya magagawang tapusin agad ito as she will be taking care of her child. Kahit na may pangambang nararamdaman, she still uttered, “Salamat, Lord, hindi Mo kami pinapabayaan.”

Nang palabas na sila ng ospital, laking gulat ni Alley nang malamang sinagot naman pala lahat ng medical insurance ang Php 150,000.00 bill nila. Sigurado si Alley na si Lord ang kumilos sa pangyayaring ito. Ito ang unang “Thank You, Lord” niya for the day. When they got home, she received a project from a new client, at triple nito ang professional fee mula sa kinikita na niya ngayon. Mas matinding “Salamat, Panginoon” na may kasabay pang sayaw ang ginawa ni Alley. Hindi lang niya nabawi ang halaga sa nawalang project, sobra-sobra pa ang binigay sa kanya ni Lord.

Alley’s life is a great example of 1 Thessalonians 5:18 ― ang magpasalamat tayo sa Panginoon sa lahat ng pagkakataon. Madaling mag-rejoice kapag maganda ang mga nangyayari sa buhay natin. Pero gaya ni Alley, even when things got tough, she chose to see God’s goodness in every situation. She is 24/7 grateful, in good and bad times. If Alley can do it, by God’s grace, we can too.
