I love the faith of a child! I think there is so much we can learn from their simple trusting unshakeable faith in our God. For an inspiring story of a child’s faith, a special prayer, and a surprise answer to that prayer, check out this link about my daughter. http://lifewithrachael.blogspot.com/2009/08/faith-of-child.html.
Thanks!

Wow. This was a great post. I don’t think I would have to make those kind of decisions about who gets the food. I will be praying for you.

I love the imagination that kids have. Everything seems possible, and trust is so easy. I want to have that kind of faith.

When I was little, my mom put silly putty in my ears to keep me from getting swimmers’ ear when we went to the beach – guess there are some adults who can still “think outside the box”!

…and that comment about smiling – WOW! If it means smiling 375 less times a day, I never want to grow up!

Ah, Lisa…even if you don’t see this until you get back…you’ve added another perspective to your post: Think of an adult who encouraged and believed in you, as a child; someone who invested him- or herself in you.

I can think of three or four whose paths encountered mine at different stages of my life. I want to be to my sponsored children the nurturing, encouraging, supporting, loving person each of them was to me.

Ken M., God bless you for encouraging your sponsored child. There will be so many things along the way that send him the message that he will never make it. Your prayers and encouragement may be the one thing that gets him through all that and gets him to college.

I try to always respond to the people who comment on my posts — but I’m actually heading to a funeral today and will be gone for a week or so. It’s the funeral of an adult who encouraged me, told me I could do anything I put my mind to, and financed my way through college and grad school. So this post today is kind of a tribute to her — and to everyone who sponsors and encourages children, everywhere. Sponsors, you DO make a difference and it is huge and wonderful. Thank you!
