I am so sensitive to those kind of stories. <BR/>My husband and I decided 2 years ago to take the money we spend at christmas and sponsor 2 children through compassion international.

I was in my bathroom getting ready for work and my twin girls (age 8) were on my bed watching TV this morning. I could hear much gggling going on and when I asked what they were watching, they said and I quote "Some crazy lady on TV talking about Jesus, she is spraying something out of a can and saying stinketh" - Guess who that was? I laughed so hard when I saw that it was Beth. I explained a little about who she was and once they got over the giggles, they settled in for a Bible Study with Beth instead of their usual SpongeBob. A God thing for sure. <BR/><BR/>Amanda, when she started talking about you and Jackson during her lesson, it brought tears to hear her express her love for you and Jackson and to hear my feelings for my children come from her.<BR/><BR/>AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-12447313510383717032007-06-28T09:45:00.000-04:002007-06-28T09:45:00.000-04:00That is so awesome!Every year at the WOF conferenc...That is so awesome!<BR/>Every year at the WOF conferences I think of sponsoring a child. <BR/>Hubby and I will talk about it again!<BR/>bless you and your family!Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592627780339395321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-2707993419884179132007-06-28T08:33:00.001-04:002007-06-28T08:33:00.001-04:00Thanks for encouraging me to sponser a child!

We've not officially met :) but I found your blog a short bit ago and have really enjoyed the creativity and your perceptions of life, motherhood, the world and our great God. I'm on xanga (FidelicharisHouse) but my cousin is working on converting me to blogspot :) and I go back & forth with other friends (garcias2chile), etc.<BR/><BR/>Anyways--a great idea from a friend teaching in New Jersey--having each kid in each class bring in one dollar a month to help support kids (with Compassion, I think). I was thrilled and would like to try it with my kids this fall as well (six classes of 30). I'm not sure what the specifics will be, particularly with the our school being public, but I think it's a great idea and I want to try it, at least. :)<BR/><BR/>It's nice to meet you and to hear some of what God is doing in your part of the world. :) Chat with you later...<BR/><BR/>~Deborah :)Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754716752180100258noreply@blogger.com
