Compassion:Sponsor a Child

This is Compassion Blog Month. So I thought I would join the cause and encourage folks to sponsor a child. We have been sponsoring Melisa in Bolivia since she was about 5 years old and now she is 12, almost 13 years old. She is doing well, attending school and learning about Jesus. She writes to us regularly and it has been a joy to see her grow and change through the years. She is quite an artist and sends us pictures with each letter. Since my kids are quite artistic too, they really enjoy seeing her artwork. Sometimes my kids will include art work of their own to send to her. Sponsorship is a rewarding way to help a child.

If you would like to join us in sponsoring a child of your own, you can click the title of this post on my blog page to go to Compassion, Inc and see the children's pictures that are still waiting for sponsors. If you should deicide to sponsor a child as a result of my posts, would you please leave a comment and let me know? It would be great to know that my post helped another child get a sponsor.

I didn't know it's Compassion Blog Month! That's so cool! I've been wanting to do a post on the two kiddies we sponsor through Compassion International. Knowing that, I'll do one soon!

You probably don't do the blog pass it on type things, but I still wanted to let you know that I am sending you a blessing from my blog. http://lightinthesphere.blogspot.com/2008/02/blessing-from-friend.html
