Thankful on a Thursday

2 Sep 2010

Keeping it simple today while joining with the Outdoor Wife’s “Thankful on a Thursday.” This one has been on my mind for a while.

I am so thankful to this month’s blog sponsors – The Rusted Chain, Mimi’s Babies, Faith, Family & Fibromyalgia and Simplified Saving because they are making it possible for us to sponsor this beautiful boy this month.

Samson is our Compassion child in Tanzania.

I knew he was ours the first time I saw his face.

We just got our sponsor packet in the mail this week. I sat down that night and cried as I read about him and stared at the picture.

He is just one month older than Big J. We are already learning so much about his country, language and the things he likes to do.

And I am so thankful we get to be a part of his life. And he a part of ours.

Would you consider sponsoring a Compassion child? Check out the cool widget in my sidebar to see if there is a child who shares a birthday with you or someone in your family that needs to be sponsored. It will change your life.

What are you thankful for this week?

I’m thankful that my air conditioner broke this week. It completely changed my perspective from one of entitlement to one of gratefulness. (I wrote about the experience here: http://onestitchmuchlove.wordpress.com)
