This year-end is a special one. We are bound to be more thankful than ever before. Each of us. And yes! I am.
For me, 2020 began with a promise card that said, "I will be with thee" - Genesis 28:15. The promise has been kept and fulfilled. Not for a moment has God left my side the whole year. Every prayer has been answered, every harm kept away, every cry has been heard. The Lord is truly faithful and a promise keeper. As I rewind everything that has happened in the year, I can only thank The Lord. He has kept His promise. While the world turned upside down every way, He's given shelter under his mighty wings and I can't be enough thankful for His never-ending grace, mercy, kindness and Goodness.
Some of us have lost our loved ones, some lost sources of livelihood, some have sunk into depression, faced economic lows, emotional breakdowns and everything negative that could've been thought of. But dearest, among everything odd, we've got to admit the fact that the year 2020 has taught us and allowed us to count our blessings. We've survived this, We've helped, we've been helped, while we've seen and heard which was "never before" and hope it'll be a "never after".
Here's a mandatory long Thank You note to all the doctors, medical staff and workers who've fought the fight with an "unheard of" spirit and effort. Gratitude to everyone who's taken extraordinary measures to offer help to the needful. Professors and teachers who've done an extremely commendable job to keep the teaching-learning in the best possible way. Time to remember our families, who've stayed with us in the unimaginable, unrealistically real times. Relatives who've looked out for each other and prayed for our families. Thanks to friends, who've kept in touch and did not mind sending how-about messages no matter how forgetful I've been. To everyone who has spread positivity, happy vibes and warmth, A heartfelt thank you. Because every little thing did matter.
Don't forget to give yourself a pat. In the midst of all the storm and the tumult, you've been strong. You've kept the smile on. Made someone or the other smile. You've made it to the very end of 2020 and not given up. That's an achievement. Take a bow.
Happy New Year 2021
