Today we received an update about our World Vision sponsored child from Malawi, Africa. In her picture she is wearing mismatched old clothes and no shoes. She is holding an old worn out soccer ball. She is the same age as Delaney. It broke my heart as I thought of the closet full of clothes and shoes that both my kids have and the toys that overwhelm our house. Why do we think we need so much STUFF?
This Thanksgiving weekend I wanted to record some simple things I'm thankful for.
