A Journey Filled with Gratitude
Lori Connell
1 Chronicles 29:13
And now we thank you, our God,
and praise your glorious name.
Eugenia and her daughters
My favorite time of year and one of my favorite soul focuses. The ending of another season as a new one begins.
Our classes are winding down as another group of women graduate. We are grateful as we watch them launch into a new season filled with hope and expectations of being able to provide for their families.
We are grateful to our many supporters and donors for keeping the doors of Mi Esperanza open so we can keep our classes full. We give thanks for you.
I will always remember the woman accepting her diploma as she turned to Lori and me, “We want you to know, that we know, you do not have to be here. We see that you work hard and we know you have given up time with your families. We know you choose to be here with us, giving us this opportunity to improve our lives. Thank you.”
Humbled. Thankful. Grateful to be blessed by such heartfelt words.
Lori and I were standing there that day, because of you and your support of Mi Esperanza. Her words of thanks are for you too.
Eugenia is pictured here with her three daughters. Because of her skills training and now employment with the Mi Esperanza jewelry studio, she has purchased her daughter a computer for school and built her family a home.
These stories are not possible without each of you. Many of you donate money for operational expenses and many of you cover us in prayer. Many purchase goods produced by our women via our website store and many of you visit us at our physical store in Tegucigalpa.
It is with gratitude and thanksgiving, we acknowledge the support of each of you. We thank God for each of you.
You are a treasured part of our Mi Esperanza family.
Please continue helping us help the next group of women who enter our doors as new classes begin in January.
Working with you continuing to bring hope,
Janet Hines
