An infant in a manger, a brilliant shining star, and adoring shepherds: All are familiar parts of the Christmas story. For the Christians, the celebration of Jesus’ birth occurs every December. It is a time of light and joy, in which this ancient story takes center stage in churches through songs, sermons, and Nativity plays. And short story telling in gatherings like ours this morning.
Christmas reminds us of the teachings of Jesus. Reminds us of our obligations towards humanity. Reminds us of our obligations to our nation of Fiji. Reminds us of our obligations to our communities and our families. And we all are gathered here today as the family of Lautoka City Council.
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, we have sailed through the turbulent days of the pandemic. Coming from different backgrounds and different beliefs, we together, have stood tall to pull Lautoka City Council shining through the darkest days. This alone is testament that we indeed have lived the teachings of Jesus in its true essence. We have shown the country, that Lautoka is resilient.
As we head into the festivities with our families, friends and neighbors, lets us also remember to share with those who are less fortunate and may not be able to afford the celebrations.
Let us pray for the souls of our co-workers who parted us during this year.
Let us pray for a safe and joyous festive season.
Let us pray that God keeps Lautoka City Council blessed with the best. Amen.
A very Merry Christmas to you all, and looking forward to a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
