Operating HOPE definitely keeps me constantly aware of all the various needs that exist among individuals/families locally, as well as statewide, nationally and internationally. The needs vary from nutrition, physical, mental, spiritual, shelter, clothing, listening ear to name a few. It's a reminder that God placed us here to remind us we need Him and each other to survive and fulfill our purpose by sharing love with each other. As in 1 Cor 13:13 "The three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love."
