Citizens and Friends of Sint Maarten,
Season Greetings,
It is the time of the year where many people gather with a family and friends to celebrate the birth and legacy of Jesus Christ.
Many are blessed to have food on the table and a safe shelter. There are also many who are in want of a meal or in need of a decent roof for their families.
Let us make this holiday season one of sharing with those who without any fault of their own, do not have a plate to feast from, or those who does not have a place to stay.
During these special days, let us take some time out for our young ones, our elderly and those who are physically challenged, abused and neglected.
Allow me to share with you a biblical verse I came across that inspires me, which I thought fitting for this season;
"Do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brothers. Rather be openhanded and freely lend him whatever he needs. Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart. Then, because of this the Lord will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to."
Let us all reach out to the children's homes, hospital wards, senior citizens homes, safe haven, schools, and community centers, and give generously during this holiday season.
Be Blessed
Merry Christmas
Gracita R. Arrindell, President of Parliament Sint Maarten.
