Do you sponsor a child?

Do you sponsor a child? Have you ever conisdered sponsoring a child in need? What better time of the year to give back? Thanksgiving is right around the corner and then Christmas will follow. This is usually the time of year when we are trying to pick out that 'perfect' gift for our loved ones. How about this year we pick out that 'perfect' child and sponor them on a monthly basis. We sponsor a child through Compassion International, the cost is only $32 month. Can you believe that only $32 gives a child the chance to get an education, clothing, food?? I can easily spend that a month on Peppermint Mocha Twist Lattes from Starbucks (my latest addiction)! There are many creditable organizations out there or click on the link above for more info.
We currently sponsor a 5 year old girl from Haiti named Roody. The first letter we got from Roody was so special. She told us how thankful she was that we are her sponosor family and that she prays for us. On her letter she had colored a small picture for us. I just ran my fingers over her drawing and imagined her coloring this. It was really special for me to stop and realize that this was actually in her hands and that she had colored it just for us. Miles away this little 5 year old knew that someone she has never met loves and cares about her. Ella and Riley love to send her letters and drawings. We keep Roody's picture out so we can keep her in our thoughts and prayers. We are thankful for Roody and who knows maybe one day we will visit her in Haiti?? You never know what us crazy Ferguson's may do...
