A Fresh Year

2006 has never been a good year. As you could watch on the news of how many people have died because of the war, terrible storms, calamities and natural disasters, it's easier to think that it was never been a good year- well, maybe for some, but here in our country many lost their lives battling with the unforeseen future, and yet we have the capacity, yes, we have the capacity to make our lives better with the help of God. As the scriptures say that we must forget about the past and look ahead of what lies in front of us at the end where we reach our goal and that is life eternal.

No man could guarantee a better or happier life ahead, and the truth is life will never get any easier. Maybe in a short period like bliss but it will never last. And yet, I see people smiling, laughing and talking like as if tomorrow will be his blessing. Hope is what make us live a little longer and even a little further, and having that promise to have riches in our hearts despite poverty; happy despite sadness, and life despite deaths.

This is a year of another start. Let us stand up with what we have and learn to be better from past experiences. A better individual; a better family; a better society. Let's start with a clean start and do our best to do the right thing, and we shall always prevail in the name of the Lord. God Bless!
