Dearly beloved
in Christ,
Dearly Beloved in Christ, Wish you all a
very blessed and happy new year. By the
grace of God we could enter into another
year. The world has witnessed so many
unpleasant incidents like the
devastating Tsunami in the Asian
countries, horrific hurricanes and
inhuman activities of extremism and
terrorism in different parts of the
world. Even our sunshine state has
suffered big loss due to hurricanes. It
is the time to look back and praise God
for the wonderful care and protection we
experienced. Let us be more dedicated
to our Lord and be renewed by his
spirit. We often wish we could see what
lies around the corner in life. Then we
could prepare for it, control it, or
avoid it. A wise person has said:
though we cant see around the corners,
God can. How much better and reassuring
that is. Even though we do not know
what the future holds for us let us be
people who do know that God holds us. As
we enter into another year, let us
praise God for all the manifold
blessings He has been showering upon us.
God is faithful in keeping His Word-from
the beginning to the end of the year, I
will keep my eye on you and guard you.
It is a time to evaluate our
relationship with God and others. If we
have fallen short of Gods expectations,
let us pray that he will help us to live
a witnessing life. I appreciate and
thank all, especially the executive
committee members of 2005 for their
valuable support and contributions and
welcome the cooperation of the incoming
committee members. A year comes to us
not as a single entity, but through
moments and days. A year is blessed
when each moment is used in a blessed
way. Let us not just simply add days to
our life, but add life to our days. May
God Almighty, the God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob continue to guide us in the
days to come.
I wish all of you a very blessed New
Year.
Alexander Tharakanachen.
