God, who wants nothing but the best for us, thought it up. It's the world and sin that has twisted it into something ugly.

I just could not handle it. In the last few days, my husband and i were thinking about sponsoring a child, but not really being proactive about it. <BR/>When I read your post, I called my husband over to the computer. When we looked at the children, we did not even have to think about it. He even said, "I will get another job if I have to. I want to adopt all the children." <BR/>Thanks for posting about this. It moved us to do it. I am not trying to give us recognition....only to tell you thank you!!!Sarah W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07498360398626998594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-45375882751476454592008-09-24T15:46:00.000-05:002008-09-24T15:46:00.000-05:00Beautiful.

Her name is mentioned so often in our prayers and conversations that my children think of her as their sister. My husband traveled to Haiti last year and met her in person. He says she is even more beautiful in person, and she gives the best hugs. :) <BR/><BR/>For us, money is tight.. but less than $40 a month is a very small sacrifice considering what all it does for our sponsored child! Thank you for caring enough to sponsor a child, and for helping to spread the word!Pufferfish Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720584390878798342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-15753665037047620292008-09-23T10:13:00.000-05:002008-09-23T10:13:00.000-05:00Thank you.Her name is Rose, and she is 6, and she ...Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Her name is Rose, and she is 6, and she is high-need. I prayed God would speak as I headed over to Compassion's website after reading your blog. And there was Rose (my nickname for my eldest daughter, whose middle name is Rose). Actually, "high-need" was all God needed to say.<BR/><BR/>You made a difference.
