these are just trials. Devote yourselves fully to the Lord and let him mold you to be the best version of
yourself.

(Final Scene, Sam is kneeling down in prayer)

Father, Sam and Kent , reconciled and celebrated Christmas together

Sam: “I will give thanks to you Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds”. My
brothers and sisters in Christ, the greatest lesson I learned in life is to trust the Lord. When God calls
you, answer, when God commands you follow and when he gives you trials, endure. Brothers and
Sisters don’t expect life to be a game, think of it as a competition, wherein hardships are your rivals
and God is your greatest motivator.

All: Let us listen to the voice of God with which we may inherit His words of love. In heeding God’s
call we become the beloved, gifted an empowered youth, the future of today.
