Love this. Thanks for your vulnerability and the reminder to sacrifice often because we have the means to do so!

I loved this, Brandy. Agape love always “pays it forward,” doesn’t it?

Wow Brandy, thanks for that. Our childhoods and mothers sound strikingly similar. God bless you for taking what you know to point us up beyond ourselves toward doing something for others. You’re awesome!

I honestly don’t know if my mom ever went without food so that my sister and I could eat; I know she sacrificed in many ways, and I would not be surprised to learn that she had, indeed, gone without in order to feed us.

I think there’s nothing like either living with poverty, or seeing it up close and personal, on its own turf, to give us a sense–even a little hint–of what our sponsored children live with.

The disparity of this problem across the globe just boggles my mind. The Mauritania video (I think) has really challenged me. In it, a dollar a day was the wages earned, and would feed the family in it once a day Now every time I spend money I think, “That would have fed that family for X days.”
