It seems as though 2008 started just yesterday and today is Christmas Eve.. How amazing is that ?We have had a very challenging year, we have witnessed some amzing things take place..
1. The great fluctuation in the price of oil on the world market..
2. The abuse of the will of the Zimbabwean peoples as their voice and vote is not only ignored by a leader who just will not relinquish his desire for power but also by regional leaders who are paralyzed into inactivity whilst a nation literally bleeds and dies..
3. The election of the first African American to the highest office in the USA..
4. The world financial crisis with major economies slipping into recession..
Yet we today declare as the angels did to the shepherds:
Luke 2:13-14
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."
We choose to look beyond the many trials and hardships we face and place our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.. We also say to all our loved ones and friends A Blessed Christmas and a hope for a peaceful, prosperous NEW YEAR.. To our loved ones in Zimbabwe we stand separated by space BUT our hearts are firmly knit with yours and we join with you as we dare to believe God for HIS deliverance from the tyranny of failed leadership and its resultant consequences of economic collapse, disease, violence and instability..
MERRY CHRISTMAS - AND A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2009 !!
