“Patience... Is the last hope any individual can have during sabbatical. When the expected doesn't happen... Patience, expect the unexpected. When you are true to something that you have done; the results will come. Better late than never. As it is said' when a door is shut, opens an other.. "Patience”
Stephen Manoharan

“The gift of the Sabbath must be treasured.
Blessed are you who honour this day.”
Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!
