This image really impacted me, especially as we commence a New Year, unaware of what prospects lie ahead of us and what we will go through throughout the upcoming months which are shrouded in the mists of the unknown. Something which I suppose, unnerves most of us... A medley of thoughts immediately crossed my mind: “What if I adopt that little child’s attitude, knowing that God is at the helm of my life as I begin 2024?
