(Statement) The
resilience of the human spirit is an unrivaled virtue. That resilience
has forced to evolve, has made us strong and has helped us survive. As
Bahamians, our resilience is inextricably linked to our faith. The
belief that a higher power remains in control even in the darkest of
hours gives us hope. That audacious hope is perhaps the greatest gift
our Heavenly Father has given us. Ann Frank once said: “Where there is
hope there is life.” Where
there is life, there lies an opportunity to begin again.
To those
terminated workers at Bahamar, I pray you do not lose hope. Though the
hour may be dark, draw on your faith, do not be discouraged. Today we
stand on the precipice of a new day. A brighter day, a brighter Bahamas
illuminated by the hopes, dreams and ideas of generations to come. Hold
fast to your faith, do not give in to despair; for where there is hope
there is life and where there is life there is an opportunity to begin
again.
