With Christmas just a day away, Leader of the Progressive
National Party Clayton Green issues his Christmas message for the TCI.
My fellow Turks & Caicos Islanders,”Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
Luke 2:14
More than 2000 years ago the angels welcomed the coming of the baby Jesus with those words. As we gather with family and friends to celebrate this Holiday let us do our part to ensure that the peace and goodwill of which the angels sang is spread throughout every community of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Let us in this season resolve to love one another, to seek each other’s welfare, to banish envy and jealously, to be less arrogant and proud and more respectful of our differences.
These are difficult times. Large numbers of us are without work and others are under a constant threat of losing our jobs. Countless others are today trying to avoid our homes and other assets being repossessed and all of this while we languish in circumstances over which we have no control.
Yet despite it all, I want to encourage you to “Fear Not” for the Christ Child whose birth the angels announced still lives and will forever reign.
We are through our faith and the Grace of God, a strong, resilient, confident and caring people and so at this time, and despite our circumstances, let us not forget our responsibility to each other and show compassion and kindness especially to those less fortunate than we are.
Heather the children and I send our best wishes for a very merry Christmas. May you be surrounded by loved ones and blessed by the Giver of all good gifts during this holiday season and throughout the New Year.
