                        “CONTINUED RESPONSIBILITY IN ACTION”

 

 

“OH THAT MEN WOULD PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GOODNESS, AND FOR HIS WONDERFUL WORKS TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN!  PSALM 107: 8

 

TO ALL THE NOBLES OF ARABIAN TEMPLE # 42, THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO ME IN THE PAST YEAR HAS MEANT AN AWFUL LOT TO ME.  I CONGRATULATE YOU ON A SUCCESSFUL YEAR.  YOUR COOPERATION AND LOYALTY HAVE BEEN THE INSPIRATION THAT A POTENTATE NEEDS IN ORDER TO GIVE HIS BEST SERVICE. AGAIN, I SAY THANK – YOU.

 

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ONE CAN NOT EXPRESS IN WORDS WHAT IS IN THE HEART.  I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN IN ELECTING ME FOR A SECOND YEAR.  I WILL STRIVE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY TO BE WORTHY OF THIS HONOR THAT IS BESTOWED UPON ME.  

 

MY CHALLENGE LAST YEAR WAS FOR MY BROTHERS TO NETWORK AND WORK TOGETHER.  I ALSO ENCOURAGED UNITY THROUGH BROTHERHOOD BUILDING.  FOR THIS I APPLAUD YOU, BUT WE STILL HAVEN’T MET THAT ROAD OF PERFECTION. 

 

SO I SAY TO YOU LET’S CONTINUE WITH “RESPONSIBILITY IN ACTION.”  LET’S CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD, SO WE THE NOBLES OF ARABIAN TEMPLE # 42 CONTINUE TO GROW.  AS THE ILLUSTRIOUS POTENTATE, I CHALLENGE THE NOBLES OF ARABIAN TEMPLE # 42 TO TAKE RISKS AND TO BECOME VULNERABLE TO CHANGE AND GROWTH IN LIFE.

 

THANK YOU.  GOD BLESS YOU.  AND MAY WE HAVE A GOOD YEAR.
