https://aerialguyana.com/ Thus is to get you in the mood to travel AFTER 19.

Pope Francis gave in yesterday's homily. You can have flaws, be anxious, and even be angry, but do not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can stop it from going bust. Many appreciate you, admire you and love you. Remember that to be happy is not to have a sky without a storm, a road without accidents, work without fatigue, relationships without disappointments. To be happy is to find strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in t...he stage of fear, love in discord. It is not only to enjoy the smile, but also to reflect on the sadness. It is not only to celebrate the successes, but to learn lessons from the failures. It is not only to feel happy with the applause, but to be happy in anonymity. Being happy is not a fatality of destiny, but an achievement for those who can travel within themselves. To be happy is to stop feeling like a victim and become your destiny's author. It is to cross deserts, yet to be able to find an oasis in the depths of our soul. It is to thank God for every morning, for the miracle of life. Being happy is not being afraid of your own feelings. It's to be able to talk about you. It is having the courage to hear a "no". It is confidence in the face of criticism, even when unjustified. It is to kiss your children, pamper your parents, to live poetic moments with friends, even when they hurt us. To be happy is to let live the creature that lives in each of us, free, joyful and simple. It is to have maturity to be able to say: "I made mistakes". It is to have the courage to say "I am sorry". It is to have the sensitivity to say, "I need you". It is to have the ability to say "I love you". May your life become a garden of opportunities for happiness ... That in spring may it be a lover of joy. In winter a lover of wisdom. And when you make a mistake, start all over again. For only then will you be in love with life. You will find that to be happy is not to have a perfect life. But use the tears to irrigate tolerance. Use your losses to train patience. Use your mistakes to sculptor serenity. Use pain to plaster pleasure. Use obstacles to open windows of intelligence. Never give up .... Never give up on people who love you. Never give up on happiness, for life is an incredible show. (Pope Francis). Happy new year! See more

Dear Colleague in Christ, Advent/Christmas blessings in the spirit of hope, peace, joy and love to each of you and loved ones in your family. I share with you the attached LWF Christmas Card showing a Guyanese mother and child: with following narrative :-:... "Churches in Suriname and Guyana contribute portrait of indigenous mother and child (LWI) - The 2020 Christmas card of The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) depicts a mother and child in the dress of the indigenous people in Guyana and Suriname. It is a perfect representation of both our countries and also of the whole Latin America and the Caribbean region, said Mr. Rafael van Ommeren, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Suriname (ELKS). The Christmas card depicts Mariangel and her daughter Atina, descendants of the first people to the geographical areas of Guyana and Suriname. They are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Guyana (ELCG). ELKS and ELCG are neighbors in the region and share many cultural similarities. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 Using the chosen biblical text (Luke 2:7) as a guide, the two churches agreed that the photo of the indigenous mother and child depicted well an underrepresented people in both countries. The card shows Mariangel dressed in the traditional costume of the indigenous people, Amerindians, who live in the Hinterland and Coastal regions of Guyana and the high and low lands of Suriname. The Amerindian people are less than five percent of the population in the region, said Michael Ram, ELCG Chairperson of the Committee for Advocacy and Public Voice". Blessings and best regards .

Well maybe I am not that disappointed I didn't get to Georgetown this year. Kidding aside, this is a really dangerous situation, especially for the poor. Guyana will need some radical changes to survive the rising ocean and the changes in weather patterns. https://youtu.be/E_qq7EaH1gQ
