Have you heard that old saying 'without
vision the people perish'? Never has that saying become more true than
it is in these times and I know it's true because I've seen it with my own eyes
and I have seen how people come alive when they begin to take hold of their
vision.
You see, there is more
to life, and it lies in your vision. CID has a vision and 3-4 times a year we
publish our magazine called Vision. Why is it called Vision? Because as a charity we have a vision of what
we would like to see happen with our projects in Romania, what we would like to
achieve and each Vision magazine
tells the story of what we are achieving and, more importantly, how
we are achieving it.
Your vision is what you create because
of the things you do. So,
in our appeals to you we tempt you with our
vision of what we would like to achieve; it then becomes your vision and we then share the same goal. So, our vision of the world as it should be is created
out of your efforts and your achievements. We couldn’t
look after the number of children we do without you sharing our
vision
In a moment of spontaneity, it may seem, and actually be, exciting to
simply wade into something without giving due thought to your vision and set
off to wherever the roads may take you - to go on an adventure into the unknown
with no clue where you are headed. But, if you live your whole life that
way, or, in our case, if we steer our organisation that way, the result
will always be
unfulfilled potential.
And that's why
vision is so important - because it gives direction and purpose to your
adventure into life; it gives you a
point of focus that, whichever way that mystery and adventure towards your
vision may lead you, keeps you on track.
There is more to life, and you were meant to live life in all its fullness and we believe that the children in our care were also meant to live life in all its fullness which is why, as we enter our 25th anniversary, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing our vision.
Next Sunday I will travel to Romania with a party
of supporters who will see at firsthand what
our joint vision has achieved.
