The Best Money I have ever spent

I am SO excited. I just sponsored a child through Compassion Australia. It was so simple. I just went to the website, clicked on 'Sponsor the Most Needy' Just two mouse clicks from google and there she was. Marie-Yves. A 6 year old living in poverty in an oppressive voodoo practicing village in Haiti.
$11 per week will provide her with food, clothing, medicine, schooling AND Bible teaching. I cannot believe that changing a life can be so easy. Its almost sad. Just one decision and a couple of clicks and suddenly a little girl so far away has recieved the help she needs. And what has it cost me? Very little. A few less scrapbooking supplies or one less foodcourt meal a week.
I am humbled and touched by how easy it was for me to connect into her world. This is the first time we have sponsored, I am sad to say. I have felt the compassion and the urge but never quite put my good intentions into action. I cannot tell you the joy that filled my heart as her precious little face popped up on my screen. As our financial viability increases I want to add more children, but for now, this little sweet Marie-Yves is our first child. It is the best money I have ever spent.
