Hope means to me that I will be here again tomorrow- counting on God's love and presence. My glass is always half full. I like to look for the Light who will give me hope. I count my blessings. In 80 year's, I've received a lot.

My husband died earlier this year and a lot of things changed in my life when that happened and I just find that UCB really gives me the encouragement I need and uplifts me and it's very comforting even on a sad day. It can be a lifeline sometimes and it really helps me get through. And lifts my heart.

You know when you're alone, you're driving alone and you're far from home -- It's inspiring because of the music and the words. I know there's other sisters and brothers. We're tripping along and I don't feel alone. My spirit is fed. And I I feel such joy and peace and comfort. And the word through the music, it's life and it breathes in into my spirit: encouragement. That's why I want to give to UCB.
