All across our country, families are gathering to share this joyous time and to give thanks for the good things in our lives. This holiday season, one of the greatest blessings of all, is that our Government has met its one year commitment to the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands given the many challenges faced following the re-instatement of Elected Government.
Our Government remains committed to continuing our mandate: ”To protect the vulnerable, balance the budget, grow our economy and ensure that jobs are provided for all”. I am also proud of the continuous efforts of our hardworking citizens who despite all odds, work tirelessly to turn conflict into cooperation, transform fear into security and to replace hatred with hope. The Christmas season serves to remind us that we must all set aside contentious thoughts and acts and resolve to honor the true spirit of Christmas not merely at this time but throughout the year. May the joy of the holidays renew our commitment to working together for a future of peace, opportunity, and prosperity.
Let us also remember our responsibility and calling, to freely and reverently serve our fellow man as this is our charge and our purpose.
The purpose of Christmas is celebration as this time of year we commemorate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people”, was the message brought unto the shepherds of Bethlehem by the angels and to this day, we continue to rejoice God’s everlasting gift of his only begotten son. The good news of Christmas is worth celebrating because through his eternal presence, Christ inspires us with the promise of a better future despite our struggles, with the hope for progress and change despite the presence of obstacles set before us. Through our faith in him all things are possible and with his guidance all good works are achievable.
Together as a Nation, let us give thanks for God’s gift of love and mercy as we also give thanks for his many blessings bestowed upon us this past year and pray that these blessings continue to shine upon us in the coming year.
On behalf of my Family and the Government and myself, I would like wish you a Merry Christmas, good health and a happy, peaceful and prosperous New Year.
May God Bless you and May God bless our beautiful by Nature – Turks & Caicos Islands.
