With the Christmas season coming up, Jason and I wanted to do something with the girls to teach them about giving and about people who have less than us. Instead of doing just a one time gift this Christmas season, we decided we wanted to make it an ongoing part of our lives. So we decided that we would sponsor a child through Compassion.

We chose a sweet 5 year old girl named Dayerling. We wanted to choose a child that was close to the girls' age. She is from Nicaragua. We chose that country because our church has adopted that nation and we will be taking lots of mission trips over there. How exciting it is that we may one day meet our precious Dayerling!

Please consider adopting a child. For just $32.00 a month, you can make sure a child has food and clothes. That's just giving up one time a month of eating out. How little is that compared to a child being fed all month?

I am reminded of this verse...

42 For I was hungry
and you gave Me nothing to eat;
I was thirsty
and you gave Me nothing to drink;
43 I was a stranger
and you didn’t take Me in;
I was naked
and you didn’t clothe Me,
sick and in prison
and you didn’t take care of Me.’
44 “Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help You?’
45 “Then He will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me either.’
