Let not throw rocks at each other this month. We have more important things to think about and do. This month I am begging all Liberians around the world to please, no fussy, no rock throwing, no cursing, and no names calling. This month is the beginning of a new year, a year we started with grave grieves in our hearts, and our mind will never be the same in Philly again. Our hearts are with the family but at the same time we are all saying to our self “I could have easily been there that night” or this could have happened to my family”. We need to take this time to thank God for each other and be grateful we have each other.
There are so many of us that got up this morning with at least one thing or person missing out of our lives; some of us are sick to no avail, some of us lost love ones via deaths or divorces, we are still at lost. Some of us didn’t know where our family members were in this world during the holiday and prayer to one day see them again. Some of us will never see them again; some of us will leave this world without our wish ever coming true. Some of us have great plans for this year and years to come but we might not make it to see it through. Some of us missed opportunities right before our eyes and are now regretting it. Some came to this country for just few months or years and are been bury here. Some of us have loves one in their lives and don’t appreciate them, while some have none and think this is the best the world have to offer them.
We need to scratch that year long itch this year in our lives, we need to push a little harder in whatever goals we have for ourselves and never forget who we are and where we came from. This is not the time to boost about your titles, houses, cars, educations; this is the time to be part of the movers and shakers, while at the same time this is the time for peace. Let peace be still in all of us this month and count our blessing for what we have.
We need to hold our brothers and sisters hands and help them cross whatever road they are trying to cross. We need to have fun amongst ourselves, we need to laugh a lot this year, maybe last year wasn’t so funny to us. We need to stop worrying and stop fussy over small stuff. We really need to let peace be still my friend.
Happy New Year and may God continue to bless you and yours!!
