I Was Just Thinking...........

We just received a letter from Kenia, the child we sponsor through Compassion International. She is a beautiful little eight year old girl from El Salvador. She begins the letter with sending us a huge hug from her. She continues the letter by thanking us for being her friend. The letter also tells of what she has been doing and that she’s looking forward to a vacation, and also asks how we are doing. She ends the letter by asking us to pray for her and then sends us kisses and hugs and hopes with all her heart God blesses us.

This little girl is real. She shares the same interests as my two kids. In so many ways kids are the same, except for their environments. I know though that in spite of where Kenia lives, God loves her. I know through Compassion International, Kenia is finding that out too. I know that my $38 a month provides her with food, water and clothing. But what’s more important, is that she is learning about God, and Jesus who gave his life, so that we all may live. She is discovering there is hope in a desperate place. And we are so happy to be a part of that.

Kenia is much more than a check we write each month. We have a relationship with her. We think of her as part of our family, and we pray for her daily. My kids draw pictures for her and we send photos with our letters. Our hope is to one day see her face to face and give her real hugs and kisses!
