Congo

Me:  It is a great day to just walk and talk.

Prodigal:  I agree!

Me:  Sometimes we need to pause and let the sunshine down on us.

This is from the book

The God Who Hung on the Cross by Dois I. Rosser Jr. and Ellen Vaughn

In Congo a few years ago, I was visiting a church school we had helped to build.  I noticed a little girl using a stick to draw in the sand.  She was about eight years old, and a bunch of kids were gathered around her.  As I drew closer, I saw she was tracing out math equations.  I found out that it costs two dollars a week to attend Christian school.  The rest of the kids just didn’t have that kind of money.  So that little girl would go to school in the morning, then gather the kids together in the afternoon and teach them what she had learned.  Needless to say, we provided scholarships for the rest of those children.

Sometimes we need to learn and then help others learn.

Luke 11:10

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Jennifer Van Allen
