Thursday, March 10

Isaiah 6:8: Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I; send me!”

In thinking about our theme for this year, my thoughts meandered in a myriad of places. But they kept coming back to the community of Abiding Hope. The simplest way for me to express those thoughts is this: Abiding Hope is a…

Community of people sharing their Heartfelt desire to give Opportunities to so many Others across the globe; Sacrificing their time and talents, Everyone giving of themselves, Lifting each other up, Offering whatever they have to give Voice to the lost, the downtrodden, the lonely. Each member of this

Caring community always ready to do the Heavy lifting to Openly look beyond themselves; to look Outward as they Serve those in need. Putting aside their Everyday lives to live into the mission of being the Heart, hands, and feet of Jesus in the world with an Overwhelming Passion to share with others so they, too, may Experience. Real. Life.

Ever-loving God, thank you for the gift of this community that puts others before self, gives and serves generously, and chooses love and hope in a world often drowning in fear and despair. In Jesus’ name. Amen
