All they asked was that we should continue to remember
the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along. Galatians 2:10 New
International Version
Today is the big day. The
organizational meeting for Tumaini Volunteers, Inc., the nonprofit that my
daughter Val is forming to help the people of Kenya. I pray that it all goes well and we have a good turnout.
And because we serve a God
who is bigger than all of our plans, yesterday I met a man who runs an
orphanage in Uganda. Joseph is here in America for a month to raise awareness
and funds for Bulamu Children’s Village. He is staying with a fellow writer
while he is in Wisconsin, so I drove 155 miles one way to attend the Pens of
Praise writers group, knowing that he would be there.
He kept saying that he is not
a writer, yet he shared a moving devotion which he had written. His words took
me right back to Africa and I could picture the children gathering around,
begging for their daily ration of biscuits.
The children. “Sigh”. May God
be with them, no matter where they live, no matter their circumstances. May God
free them from their poverty, whether they are lacking in physical or spiritual
things.
Jesus said to them, “Let the little children come to
me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Mark
10:14 New International Version
