August 2020
My email has brought me some creative material during the pandemic time – some of it very funny, some worth just a smile, some I won’t comment on. But a recent one was a voice of hope. I am passing the link on to you. It communicated hope to me.
The Longest Time, as sung by the Phoenix Chamber Choir
These singers believe that the difficult times we live in are not permanent. A brighter future is possible. This can pass. They believe that they have power to do something about the problem. They commit themselves to doing their part. They use the resources they have to make a difference. And in the process, they create something beautiful. They are not immediately solving the problem. But they are making life better for themselves and others by doing what they are doing. My day was brightened by watching and hearing them put their voices together in harmony to share with me their hope. They are right. This too will pass. We can hope that out of this time good things will come. Our part is to listen to what God is calling us to do and to respond using the gifts God has given us.
