You are not Alone

As this year draws to a close, we look back at a year that was in our lives. While some of us have accomplished a lot, in terms of major life-changing events such as new careers, new jobs, getting married, giving birth, etc. Some of us have also suffered a loss in many different forms whether it be the loss of a job, a loved one or even a missed opportunity, which has left us emotionally drained and worst for wear. We have all had a lot to deal with, especially with the continuing impact that Covid-19 has had in transforming our lives from what they used to be. The most important thing to remember in all the painful and emotional changes that we continue to plough through is that we are not alone. Now more than ever before, we need a shoulder to lean on.

I challenge each of you to either reach out to someone you know and trust to help you carry the load or reach out to someone else and help them carry their load. This will not only lighten your load if you ask for help but also give you the strength to keep fighting until that better day comes. Similarly, if you reach out to help someone else in need will not only give you spiritual enrichment but also create your support system for when you need a shoulder to lean on someday because life is unpredictable.

No matter what you may be going through right now, stay strong and be encouraged that this too shall pass.
