Children in poverty. Hurting families. Limited access to resources. These components of our world today are burdening my heart and haunting my thoughts. So many needs...
So much is swirling around in my mind, but words aren't coming easily to me. My heart is breaking for...
...those children that are abandoned. Will they know what love is?
...the families that are barely keeping things going. Will the next meal be their last?
...that little boy or girl that all he or she knows is violence, drugs, lies, hurt and poverty. Do they know there's a way out?
...that loving couple that all they want is a little one but are struggling to find the funds to adopt. Where will the money come from?
...that child who has no idea that his Creator loves him. Will he know before it's too late?
My life has been impacted by the stories I read. The pictures I've seen. They're REAL....and not that far away. The main question I keep reverting to is "how can I help? what can I do?"
My search has left me overwhelmed by the options, and encouraged that there are many others who are wanting nothing more than to impact a life. Just one life with the Truth.
I spent Wednesday evening with a close friend, looking through pictures of her recent trip to Ethiopia with Compassion International. While talking to my mom during my lunch break yesterday, she suggested I take a peek at Chatting at the Sky blog and Inspired to Action...my mother is so wise.
Through the Ordinary Hero blog I am daily reminded there are a million needs that have to be met.
And answering just one makes a world of difference.
