The old year is going out and I am all set to ring in the new one. New Year’s Eve is a time for many to go back and revive some of the cherished moments of the exiting year. I do it every year (and that too religiously) as the clock ticks away to welcome the New Year, I close my eyes and thank God for gifting me such precious moments. I am happy that I will be welcoming the New Year at my parent’s home; my sister and her two lovely kids will be joining us tonight for the celebrations.

With its ups and downs, the passing year has been like a graph. There were days when my daughter was suffering from acute asthma and I was sitting besides her in the hospital and praying to God “please take care of Angy”. And he did! I always knew that Angy would get better because I believed in Him and when “you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there” and it will move. Yes faith, trust, reliance or belief whatever you name it, it is an important aspect of human life and is needed at every step we take, whether it’s about marriage, taking a job, struggling with an illness, or overcoming a handicap. Having faith in yourself is important; equally important is trusting your friends, family, your spouse and your near and dear ones. But remember faith in God is the cornerstone of all faiths. So, celebrate the essence of this very term “faith” tonight, just spare some moments for it and trust me you will be high on spirits

Wishing you guys a very happy and successful New Year.
