from the editor MARTA MORTON–WWW.HARBOURCLUBVILLAS.COM One of the “miracles” for which I am so grateful is how Marta Morton always has the perfect picture to express my words. This ethereal sunset is a daily reminder of TCI’s glorious natural beauty; never-fading, always uplifting, a reminder of God’s goodness and grace. A Year of Miracles Last Sunday, our pastor at Community Fellowship Centre in Providenciales, Bradley Handfield, asked the congregation how many had experienced a miracle this year. Nearly all hands raised, mine included. For although most of us look forward to crumpling up the 2020 calendar and throwing it away, we also must remember that in times of great difficulty, miracles—God’s grace in action—can and do abound. The fact that the Turks & Caicos Islands are currently open for business, nearly COVID-19-free and positioned for a thriving rebound is amazing to me when I remember the long, frightening days of lockdown this spring. My elderly parents and uncle stayed safe at home in the US when I could not be with them. My sister’s house was spared from the raging wildfire that destroyed most of her town. There is food on our table, a roof over our head, our rusty old cars are still running . . . and COVID-19 vaccines have been produced and are being distributed in record time! And here is another issue of Times of the Islands. We continue to offer the magazine on-line only, with a limited number of printed copies for subscribers. Although the Summer and Fall virtual editions have enjoyed tremendous readership, we pray the economy—and our advertisers’ pocketbooks—improve so the next issue can be fully in print. I am so grateful for the subscribers and readers who encourage us to carry on, the advertisers who support us and the contributors who research, write and send the articles and photos that make the magazine happen. For me—a woman from Chicago—every day spent in the Turks & Caicos Islands is a miracle. The pastel sunrises, verdant vegetation, sweet sea breezes, shimmering turquoise seas, glittering beaches, golden afternoons, blazing sunsets and crisply drawn constellations are the epitome of God’s creation and always bring me joy. And so I give thanks, even for 2020. Kathy Borsuk, Editor • timespub@tciway.tc • (649) 431-4788 6 www.timespub.tc
