Spunk

Our family has sponsored three children in different countries for the last 3 years and every year at least once the organization sends us photo updates along with information on their communities and their school work. We try to send a few packages to the children every year and look forward to their notes. They are simply precious reminders of how much children are the same all over the world. This week we received a picture of Alettah and we were so tickled by her spunk.

Her little face and peace sign brought us all to laughter. Not to mention the hand on her hip. It's been a year since we hosted the Ugandan orphans in our home and that experience changed our lives. We still think of the boys often, especially Allan and are still coming to grips with how that situation unfolded. So the note this week from Alettah was just what we needed, to remind us that our work is still unfinished and even if we can only send a small amount to each of the three children every month, that small amount accounts for so much for them.
