It really is such an eye-opening...Thanks, Michelle! It really is such an eye-opening experience. I remember reading to my son from one of our Compassion kids' letters where he listed what he bought with his birthday money - shoes, new pants, flour, sugar, a soda, a cake, and a chicken. My son was so confused -- no toys?!? But it has stuck with him, and we talk a lot about how thankful we are to God for how rich we are compared to the rest of the world and for guidance from God to help us share what we have. I just love how Compassion provides the opportunity to directly make a difference in a child's life. <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by! I look forward to visiting your blog, too. Take care!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611295306171246645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022647561825347958.post-59114116742101835612010-11-29T11:50:47.085-05:002010-11-29T11:50:47.085-05:00I completely get it. Sponsoring through Compassio...I completely get it. Sponsoring through Compassion has changed our lives. I know what you mean when you say that you think about the money you spend. I have always been thrifty, but now I view purchases through Compassion-tinted lenses, so to speak. We have 8 Compassion kids and some live in areas where the average monthly income is $8 or $9. Gosh, some people spend that much on a single specialty coffee drink!! <br />Anyway, I just found you through a Google Alert which picked up on your Compassion reference. I had to tell you how much I can relate to what you're saying/Michelle ~ Blogging from the Boonieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04699276750292983907noreply@blogger.com
