It has been a while since I have posted a blog. It’s hard to find the time. My little man has been sick seems like he is well for 2 weeks and when week 3 rolls around time to batten down the hatches cause here we go, again. Also being a full time bookkeeper outside the home is a little “taxing” at times, but for the most it’s the best job ever! So about 2 weeks ago I stopped by the mailbox on the way in and found the sweetest envelope! My sponsor envelope had arrived! Thanks to a fellow blogger and her information I had already went online and sent a family gift and a Christmas gift hoping that it was not too late. So I got out the Alexandra’s information card with her picture on it and showed it to Little Man…
Little Man, “Her cute!” Me, “I know. She’s our new friend who lives far away.”
Little Man, “Look her wink at me!”
Me, “No, I don’t think so. She has one bad eye and can’t see out of it. (Coving one eye) This is how she sees.”
Little Man, “I will pray to God that he fix her sick eye.”
Me, “That’s so nice of you. Let’s pray that God will keep her and her family health.”
Little Man, “Look, her mad!”
Me, “No, she’s not mad. I think that she is shy and forgot to smile.”
Little Man, “Well, when I see that girl I’m going to say, Smile like this!”
I am continually amazed at how a child sees things. How honest, pure, and uncomplicated.
So next, the dreaded first letter. How am I to write to a young girl? What do I say? How do I start? Thanks to this great lady who shared this link on just how to do that. And thanks to this wonderful lady who has written devotions for her compassion children and shared them I was able to get my first mailed letter underway. Now when I’m in town my eyes are on the lookout for item that can be sent by mail to Alexandra.
I’m praying that this compassion child and her family will be blessed. So now at bedtime prayers we are praying for a young lady and her family. For enough food, good health, and enough. Just simply enough!
The opposite of poverty is not wealth.
The opposite of poverty is enough.
