I know it’s a little off-topic (well not really…more later), but I wanted to share my heart on Compassion International; and one of the children I sponsor. Compassion is around a lot of the events I’m involved with, so I naturally was curious about the organization a few years ago. I can honestly tell you it’s an amazing blessing to be a part of what they are doing; and they are 100% legit.
My little guy lives in Brazil and is named Jonas, and I chose his specifically for a few reasons:
1 – he and I share the same birthday
2 – he likes cars
3 – he is visually impaired
Wow.
When I saw that he was visually impaired, he grabbed me. It reminded me realize how truly blessed I am, especially doing what I do and loving it. I sometimes take for granted my eyesight; but what a gift it truly is. I’m so thankful for that; so I encourage you to thank God for something you might take for granted in your life, no matter how small.
And while you’re at it; go sponsor a child.
It’s fun to get letters from them about what their favorite color is. I would tell them my favorite color; but I don’t think they would understand Rosco gel numbers.
Great post Camron. We sponsor three kids (one corresponding with each kid in my family) and it’s awesome. Each night our kids pray for Daniela, Gabriel and Asly.
I love how Jonas has three things that connect with your world.
@Brian – Wow! I love that. Yes; it’s so much more special when there is a connection like that.
