Welcome to Music with a Mission Online!
We are recipients of enough and enough and more than enough, enough and enough and more than enough to share … God whose giving knows no end, make us glad recipients of your generosity. Give us eyes to see and ears to hear and hearts to remember your abundance, that we might share it with the world. Amen.
(from Celebrating Abundance: Devotions for Advent [p. 9] - Walter Brueggemann, compiled by Richard Floyd)
