the gift of a letter

Look what I found in the mailbox today . . .

Sometimes it’s the little gifts in life that mean so much.  Not the gifts we gave him.  But the gift he’s giving us.

The gift of caring about someone we’ve never met face to face.  The gift of learning to store up treasures in heaven.

If you’re looking for a way to invest in the life of a child in need, consider sponsoring a child through Compassion International or another reputable organization.  Umalu was the first little boy in Africa that I loved.  We began sponsoring him in the summer 0f 2009 as God started to stir my heart up for Africa.  I dream of traveling to Uganda one day to meet him.  Until then, his picture will remain on the fridge, and this new one will sit in a frame right next to pictures of Riley, Cole & Yohannes.  I’m confident that the $38 a month to help support Umalu is money well spent, and even though it seems so small, it’s making a difference in his life!

I just started sponsoring a 5 year old Ethiopian boy named Belete. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and I’m so glad I finally did.

“and even though it seems so small, it’s making a difference in his life!” AMEN SISTER!

The enemy’s biggest lie is that we cannot make a difference because the problem is too big and we do not have enough to give… remember what Jesus did with the little boys small offering of fish and bread – HE FED MULTITUDES!!!

Thank you for the reminder today!

We just started sponsoring a little boy in the Philippines named Jericho. Do you know if we can send them THINGS? I know we can write, but can we send care packages?
