"...many of our disappointments and much of our happiness arise from our forming false notions of things and persons. We strangely impose upon ourselves; we create a fairy land of happiness..."

This week, I am reading from Abigail Adams’ letter to Hannah Lincoln, written in 1761.

Reflection questions:

• Where are you experiencing disappointments with donors?  Can you release the donor and not the vision?

• As you create a fairy land of happiness, that is a vision of impact, how will you hold the list of donors as changeable?
