The past year has been an emotionally sapping one marked with the loss of many loved ones. We are bewildered, we are in shock and still wondering what lies ahead. Glory to God for the global steps taken on the roll-out of vaccines to cushion the impact of the devastation called C-19. Indeed, many have lost hope, wondering when this ill..-wind will blow over . WHO KNOWS ? Just a word of encouragement to those who are praying for light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, it id the only way to start a journey to a new normal. Remember the scriptures in Romans 8 : 28 which gives us comfort. We will not give up on life. We cannot always comprehend Gods ways as He carries out His plan for our lives. Let us rejoice in our sufferings today for the hope that we have in for tomorrow _ James 1:12.  I feel your pain and pray for us to receive strength for the journey ahead. SHALOM.
