As members of the Board of the Henri Nouwen Society, we wish to convey to you our deep gratitude for your generous support of our work. Despite the global pandemic and the political divisions that have unsettled so many lives, you continue to partner with us as we share the words and wisdom of Henri Nouwen during these difficult days.
Henri spoke so eloquently about the importance of gratefulness:
"To be grateful for the good things that happen in our lives is easy, but to be grateful for all of our lives - the good as well as the bad, the moments of joy as well as the moments of sorrow, the successes as well as the failures, the rewards as well as the rejections - that requires hard spiritual work... We are only truly grateful people when we can say thank you to all that has brought us to the present moment."
We especially want to thank those of you who have signed up for our monthly giving program. It is reassuring to have a steady and consistent source of income each month, particularly during these challenging times. Your support through monthly giving is also helpful to the board as we plan for this year's budget.
While we realize that making a commitment to sign up as a monthly donor is not an option for everyone, it is something we hope you will consider.
