President George Manneh Weah has called on citizens to be thankful to God for his abundant grace and mercy throughout the passing year. According to the Liberian leader, despite the trials and tribulations, citizens faced in their lives and as a nation collectively, his government continues to steer safely, for which they ought to be grateful adding Christmas is an important day for Christians around the world. It marks the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
According to him, like millions around the world, Liberians mark the period by demonstrating how much our families, friends, and neighbors mean to us. President Weah said it is his hope that this special tradition takes hold again this year. “Our Lord teaches us to love our neighbors as such no better time than now to show how much we care”, Mr. Weah added.
He started Liberians must endeavor, however, to extend that warmth beyond the confines of their own walls, as being nice to others not only fulfills the requirements of the scripture but also ensures that society is harmonious and peaceful. “So regardless of our different persuasions, be it political or social, we must aspire to break down the superficial barriers that have come to set us apart as people, especially during this Christmas season. I urge you to Reach out to a friend or foe and make him know that regardless of your different worldviews, we are one people pledging allegiance to the same flag. We have together fought many afflictions that have challenged us as a nation, including wars and pestilence. There’s no height we can’t reach if we work together as a people”, the Liberian Leader noted.
President Weah further that Christmas come at a time we as a nation are preparing to put our rich culture and tradition on display as we celebrate a bicentennial of God’s grace to our beloved country Liberia. It is a therefore my hope that every Liberian will open arms and share in the moment of pride. Liberians everywhere, regardless of their ethnic, religious, or political affiliations, must begin the process of national renewal knowing we belong to one patrimony.
