This month HopeAlive11 had the privilege of getting to volunteer at Raider Ranch for a special morning of creativity and connection.

Our amazing volunteers and young people spent time helping elderly residents paint their own flower pots with unique designs before choosing the perfect plant to take home.🪴 It was more than just an arts and crafts activity. It was an opportunity to share smiles, laughter, ad meaningful conversations across generations.

As we were packing up to leave. Some of the residents who hadn't been able to attend stopped us. As we talked with the residents, some of our incredible young volunteers stepped forward and gifted them the extra flower pots they had painted themselves. 💐

It was a simple act of kindness, but one that spoke volumes and I got to witness all the smiles, which warmed by heart!. Watching these young hearts choose generosity reminded us that compassion is contagious and that the smallest gestures can make the biggest impact.

At HopeAlive11, we believe in building a community where every generation is seen, valued, and loved. Thank you to every volunteer, every young person, and the residents at Raider Ranch for making the day so special. ❤️

Today at the Lubbock Children's Group Home, we witnessed pure joy as the kids painted pots, created their own recipe for strawberry shortcake, and selected their perfect plants for their pots. Their eagerness to learn and care for their plants was remarkable and so cute! They wanted every little caring detail. Some generously chose to gift their creations, spreading love and kindness to others. As we approach Good Friday and Easter, may we not forget the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross, and how God gave His one and only Son for us. A true love story. May we never forget the cost and seek Him with all our might❤️

💐 Today was filled with sweet reminders of God's love. 💐

While delivering flowers, we unexpectedly came across a chalk message from this November that simply said, "You are Loved." Of all days... of all places, and the fact that it would still be there was amazing!. God met us right there. A beautiful reminder of His perfect timing and unfailing presence.

A heartfelt thank you to Jan, the owner of Pauline's Flowers in Slaton. You helped to support HopeAlive11 and your community during the week of chalk week, and your Love continues to shine Bright! Love truly came full circle today.

Thank you as well to Drake Photography for generously donating the beautiful flower vases used today- your kindness helped to make each bouquet even more special.

Even on a day the enemy intended for darkness, God filled it with joy, comfort, and tender reminders that Jesus is near. The longing to hold Kolter again remains until I am in Jesus' arms- but today, heaven felt especially close. I pray each women who received a flower bouquet today felt the same nearness- wrapped in love, seen by God, and reminded that hope still blooms, even in the midst of sorrow.

So grateful. So blessed.

Let the flower delivering begin!

This morning, my sister and I were at Market Street picking out flowers for today's deliveries, and God began showing His glory early. We met Larry at check out. Larry was moved by our mission, and as we were gathering our flowers we saw our note cards had been overlooked. Larry, immediately jumped in and said "no, let me purchase them." A small gesture but it had a big impact for me. Through it, I saw God's glory and Love. Also, today is Larry's 72nd birthday!! As we walked to the car there was a beautiful sunrise, reminding me that God never leaves us in darkness and will carry us in tomorrow.

Today we pray that our flower bouquets touch the hearts of these special woman just like Larry has touched ours!

God may each one of these wonderful women today know they are so Loved and seen, and bless them with a Happy New Year!

Over the weekend HopeAlive11 was blessed to get to serve the Children's Home of Lubbock. We ate flavored popcorn from Joyful Poppin. Dill pickle and Christmas delight are the winners! Provided Bahama Bucks with sprinkles, danced, played games and painted festive Christmas ornaments! (Which some even lit up!)

Seeing the joy and smiles on the children's faces was the greatest gift of all!

HopeAlive11 prays you all have a great Christmas filled with love and joy! May we all celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior this Christmas and remember his goodness and faithfulness. ❤️✨
