Doors of Hope
-
is in memory of my late sister Audrey. For many years she dedicated her
life to
Compassionate Friends
after the loss of her two sons. She gave hope to
many families, who grieved due to the loss of their
children. Although this site seems to deal primarily with the troubled
side of life, it is my hope that those who have, or are going
through difficult times will find a measure of true hope and healing. |
Who Are We
I am Tony a semi-retired
business man who doesn't know what semi-retirement means. But I suppose that
is true for many "retired" folk. My dictionary gives these definition
amongst others - to withdraw - to go into seclusion - to
withdraw from active life. None of these definitions seem to adequately
describe what I see many retired people do.
Life for many of us has been a great
Journey of valleys and mountain tops. The valleys when we came close to
despair, the mountains tops when life exhilarated us.
I believe those who are "retired" or
anticipate "retirement" have a tremendous GIFT to share -
THE
GIFT OF YOURSELF!
As you browse this web-site you will
become aware of the tremendous need in your own community. I challenge you that
you would share yourself with someone who needs a hand up. Don't go into
seclusion - don't withdraw
GIVE YOURSELF AWAY!
Most of the information you find
on the website was drawn from my 17 years of working as a volunteer with the
RCMP Victim Service Unit doing crisis intervention work in Prince George, my
home town.
The
purpose of this site is to focus on the needs
of our communities, locally here in Prince George and at large.
It is my prayer that these pages will reflect the attempt to put meaning in the
lives of those who are in crisis and need to connect with someone who cares.
It is my hope that this site will do some of this and please .............
GO!
To know where my heart is go to

Through
Journey of
Hope
we will provide Information on Support Groups, Workshops, Seminars &
Your Stories.
Hope is a Journey, in fact
a life long journey. Without hope we would certainly despair. As the
shape of the above title curves, so do our lives. We go from mountain
top to valleys to mountain tops. It is when we are caught and constantly
drawn down into a valley of despair we can be overcome. Then through the
mist we reach out and grasp the hand of the one reaching out to you. Who
is the one who has extended that hand? Well God uses different means,
but mostly he uses ordinary people who put words into action. Love
in action gives Hope.
