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.
