Starting a New Year
The year 2009 has started with a wave of hope that swept the world when Barack Obama became president of the United States.Hope is powerful and can motivate us to achieve beyond our very own expectations. The failure to realise the things hoped for can in the same token drag us down into the pit of despair and helplessness.
In saying this I cannot help but think of the many children and young people who today are caught in the web of helplessness and hopelessness.Children who are thrown out of the nest for reasons that they themselves cannot explain, children who suffer the daily pain of rejection and abuse, young people living on the fringe of society are in that pit of despair often convinced that they will never come out of this hell.For these children and young people, I say a very special prayer that somehow Hope will enter their life and bring about changes beyond their own expectations.I am encouraging all women to be spiritual mothers and be the bearers of that torch of hope that will be the light on the path of these children and young people during the year 2009.
We are facing desperate times and we need to turn our eyes to the Mighty Spirit to be enfused with the powerful spirit of love and compassion in order to reestablish order and peace in our society.To carry that torch of hope is a daily commitment and a sacred responsibility.Again I say that :For every child we save is a man /a woman of tomorrow that we save.Each one take one for a better Jamaica a better world.
