This is Black Family for your money #MyPM #Repost @opm_tt with @repostapp ・・・ #PMDrKeithRowley's message to the nation on the occasion of #Christmas #2016 Fellow citizens, In the spirit of the Christmas Season, I extend sincere wishes for a safe, joyous and happy Christmas to the Christian community, from the Government and people of Trinidad and Tobago. In my Christmas message last year I noted that 2016 may prove to be a challenging year for us in Trinidad and Tobago. But I also acknowledged that, as a people, we have an incredible spirit of resourcefulness and resilience which would allow us to overcome any difficulties in our path. I am truly heartened to say that as a Nation we have stayed the course, making the sacrifices that have become necessary to ensure that we emerge from this period of adjustment stronger and more prosperous. The religious traditions of the Christmas period ask the Christian community to put unconditional trust in God’s plan of salvation… a child would be sent to us, to grow and live among ordinary people and He would teach us love, sacrifice and forgiveness. As we celebrate this festive occasion, in that same spirit of love and care, I ask you to spare a thought for our regional and international neighbours still overcoming the impact of on-going conflicts and environmental disasters. Here at home we remember the members of our own communities – most recently Matelot, Madamas, Brasso Seco – who are re-building their homes and lives following unanticipated and uncharacteristic climatic conditions. During this Christmas season let us continue to demonstrate our compassion for our brothers and sisters in need by sharing what we have with those who have lost their homes and other belongings during the year.
