A friend sent this to me this morning on Email and it's just so wonderful, I thought I would share it with you. Every time you give up on something, you give up on yourself. Imagine your life as this man.
Happy New Year to all of my readers (if there are any left!) I have sooo neglected this blog of mine over the holidays. But have no fear, I'm back from blog vacation! I have enjoyed reading all of the blogs of the people who haven't gone on vacation over the holidays.
Stay tuned for my failed attempt at taking an imprint of my son's hand for my husbands birthday. If any of you have ever done it, you will understand that not just one person can do it! What a mess!
Oh and a little update about our Sponsor Child! We got a little package with his photo and how to contact him so I'm looking forward to writing a letter (my mother in law said she'd translate it for us) and sending him a little something! Does anyone have any idea's? It has to fit in a 6X9 envelope, be flat, and it can't be money.
So to all of you, have a fantastic weekend, I'll be back on Monday!
While researching my post for my Favourite Christmas songs, one video on YouTube of the John Lennon song War is over, brought me to tears.
It made me think how selfish I was to worry about how many presents to buy this year, or what kind of food to prepare to impress my guests.
There are so many children out there who have no family because of war or disease. Who have to work and not go to school. Who are old before their time.
I looked at this picture and fell in love:
This is Marco Jose from Peru. It feels odd to go through photo after photo and try to decide which person to sponsor, I just didn't know how I was going to choose but I looked at him and fell in love. I guess that's what I was looking for.
But I had a hard time "picking" my child.
Here's why:
1) You can select what country, what age, if they're a hope child (living with AIDS) and even see their picture.
2) When I picked someone, they ended up in my basket (the American site.)
I felt funny, like I was buying someone and they were in my basket. I also felt that I shouldn't be able to pick, it should just go to the child that needs my help the most. But I wanted to look for a really young child (about my sons age or around it) and found Jose. In about two weeks I'll receive a picture and some information about him.
I just love that he has a pink sweater on and a red hat!
What I did notice about the children in all of the photo's is that they mostly look sad. I'm sure they don't have much to smile about, without proper clothes, food and shelter, not to mention love.
I read somewhere that poor people laugh more then rich people because they appreciate the simple things in life. God, I hope that is true. But to have children responsible for so much when they are so young is very sad.
I wish that they didn't have to spend money on updating me with the child, I mean I LOVE to get updates but I would like them to spend the money on the kid.. you know?
I'll keep you all posted on Marco! If you are interested in sponsoring a child, please visit:
WorldvisionUSWorldvisionCanadaWorldvisionORGWorld Vision was founded in 1951 by Dr.Robert Pierce, a young pastor and missionary, who had first been sent toChinaandSouth Koreain 1947 by theYouth for Christmissionary organization. Pierce remained at the head of World Vision for nearly two decades, but resigned from the organization in 1967What I realized is that you can not only contribute monthly to help someone eat, and learn and grow. But you can buy a gift that gives for many years such as a goat or chickens. So my $35 a month will help Marco receive things like clean water, nutritious food, health care, and access to education.
Anyway, with all of what's wrong in this world, we can afford to do a little something that is right. Hope you can too!
Here are a few of my favourite Christmas tunes! They're not in order, and not all are the original video's or anything but they're fun to listen to! Enjoy! What are some of your favourite Christmas songs?
1) Alvin and the chipmunks
2) Dreaming of a white Christmas
3) Carole of bells
4) Green sleeves
5) Baby its cold outside
6) Feliz Navidad
7) Oh holy night
8 ) So this is Christmas **warning graphic images
Ok I'm going to go sponsor child right now, I just cried my eyes out watching this video. God bless all those suffering in war, and to all those who have lost loved ones.
