 Nassau, Bahamas - To
the residents of Killarney, as the year 2010 fades into the sunset, let
us prepare to face the untried challenges and joys of 2011.
Let us remember as we begin this new year, that no matter what we will
have to endure, we have all been given the power to overcome any and
every obstacle that we may face. God has given each of us the ability
through our talents, and with his strength, to be successful.
We will all go into the New Year with different challenges. Some are
faced with joblessness and financial difficulties, some with sickness,
addictions, depression and some with family problems. In every case we
need to first acknowledge our situations and then face them head on. Let
us set goals and then work towards them, one step at a time. Choose to
believe that you have been armed with strength for every battle!
If you stay in faith, you will be victorious. Don’t just settle in your
present situation. Tell yourself that you can accomplish all your dreams
and that you have been equipped and empowered to live in victory in
every area of your life.
If you cannot change the challenge you face, you can make every effort
to control the way you think and deal with those challenges. We all have
the power to form perspectives that look beyond discomfort and pain.
I encourage you to spend more time with your children in 2011. Eat
healthier, and exercise. If you smoke, quit smoking. Work towards
getting out of debt. Plan to help someone in need. Spend more time in
the word and in prayer. Learn something new, and enjoy life more.
I challenge you to become involved. Make your voice heard. Join a
neighbourhood or crime watch association, or begin one. Attend
constituency and town meetings and work with other Killarney residents
to truly make a difference. Don’t be a part of the problem. Be a part of
the solution.
As your member of parliament, I pledge during the coming year to
continue doing everything in my power to give you the kind of
representation that you deserve. A representation that is open,
accountable and transparent and with a strong voice in Parliament.
In the words of Albert Einstein, “Let us Learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow.”
I wish each and everyone of you, a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR KILLARNEY!!
