The late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” This quote remains as relevant today as it was when he first spoke these words, and this quote provided inspiration in the early stages of founding the Live Love Serve Foundation.
When my family and I formed this Foundation in 2015, it was created as an extension of CBI’s commitment to be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us. Each year we continue to be blessed and in return, each year we are able to increase our reach into our local communities through our associates and the Foundation. Every day we strive to live a God-centered life focused on Love, and we do this by serving our communities through support of religious and other charitable organizations that positively impact people.
When it comes to giving we believe we should dig deep, yet when it comes to giving we also know that you cannot out give God. Watching so many of our CBI associates LOVE and SERVE others in need across our platform is extremely humbling, and I am deeply grateful for every single one of our associates who steps up in their own special way to serve others. The kindness and generosity I’ve witnessed over the past four years is simply outstanding, and I couldn’t be any more proud of how we’ve been able to build this amazing organization.
As we head into the second half of the year, I look forward to continuing our mission to Love and Serve others and positively impacting the communities in which we work and live. God calls us to Love and Serve others not expecting anything in return. Mother Teresa did not set out to become the “Mother Teresa” we came to know and love, she just wanted to love one person at a time. My challenge to everyone reading this is simply to take the first step in faith. The Live Love Serve Foundation is doing it with you, and what an impact we will have.
