Words from Mark Palmer
In the spring of 2007 I attended an event at Vineyard Central in Norwood, Ohio. One of the purposes of this gathering was to celebrate the lives of two of the church’s members who had died in the year past. Though I never had the honor of meeting either man, someone shared a quote from Mark Palmer that really stood out for me that weekend. This past March, Kevin Rains, of Vineyard Central published the quote in his blog (link is below) that reminded me of what I had heard over 18 months ago. The words still speak strongly to me. Maybe they will to you as well.
“When it seems that hopefulness is the least appropriate response in this situation, let it rise up even more. Whisper your hope when you lie down at night; scream your hope when you wake in the morning. Live your hope as if it is the one and only thing that sustains you in this ravaged world. You will not be disappointed.”
