I thought it was quite ironic and appropriate that we received a new letter from our child we sponsor through Compassion yesterday. This one was especially touching because it is basically a thank you letter for the extra money we sent for his birthday. His mother tells us he picked out shoes and socks and what a blessing it was. Shoes and socks.
And Alexander also drew some pictures on the back and you know what? They’re just like the drawings Emma draws. These kids aren’t random kids in poverty. They’re just like ours except they have NOTHING. My children would probably scoff at socks for their birthday but to them it’s a blessing.
Please consider joining the ranks of Compassion. If you need more info, just visit Shannon or BooMama or Anne as they tell the stories first hand.
