Brakpan's Voice Issue 5. Unity brings opportunities.

 

New year's message.

Immediately is an apt word to describe the start of 2024.

The one moment I was still trying to get my head around the fact that 2023 is gone when 2024 announced: “Here I am.”

And it was a good announcement for the community.


Immediate action is Grace.

It is a profound statement that, when I heard it, my spirit jumped. Witnessing how a community comes together after one phone call is something that will stay with me for a long time.

Procrastination is the enemy of 2024.

Laziness, delay, excuses, complains, procrastination they are all excuses we use when we feel overwhelmed, uncertain, and unsure of the next step. But let us get up. Fix that roof, build that bridge, grow a seed, and invest in our town. Don’t play the blame game; there are no winners in this game.

Let 2024 be a perspective shift, an immediate action for all of us. Where, instead of complaining, we do. Instead of arguing, we try to understand another person’s perspective. Instead of breaking down, let us build a future for our children.

Let us celebrate the death of procrastination at the feet of the Cross and become a people of action. Rise up for your light has come…

Let us put our laziness aside and learn a new skill, take on a new challenge and become part of something greater right there where you live. Now, more than ever,


it is vital to stand together. This is an election year, a year where your voice can make a difference in the future of our country. Make it count. Your voice matters.

Let us express hope by walking in love with faith as our guidepost.

May 2024 be a year of renewed vigour.

Grace and peace to you.
