Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me bless Your holy name. It is a beautiful morning here in Adama, Ethiopia and we are off at 7:00AM to visit a local well. We are going to get there early in order to see those who woke at 3:00 AM to take a 2 or 3 hour walk for their daily supply of water. And some make the journey twice a day. We met a family yesterday that would spend six hours a day fetching firewood to be able to use to cook - six hours a day. Often they spend more energy collecting, preparing and cooking there food than the benefit of the nutrition they receive from the food.
There is such an exhilarating feeling serving the poor. Waking up every morning and knowing that what you do this day can make a difference in the life of a child.
I would encourage you to consider sponsoring a child to!day. If you already do sponsor one then write them a letter. Blessings.
