What do I have to offer???? can normally be found in "what do YOU need?"
I received a letter from a sponsor boy the other day and would like to share that simplicity of his life with you. His is about 13 years old and he writes; Cordial greeting full of love and happiness hoping may God always protect you. He continues on with a school report that classes are getting harder but he is doing good. He is learning English and enjoys it along with working on computers. This is the part that caught me; everything is turning green and giving new life to all the plants and the trees. This is the season on which my brother and I go to look for fruits in the afternoon. All the afternoons are great because I enjoyed from all the nature of that surrounds me.
As I had time to spend with my sons this last weekend that same thought crossed my mind. I remember taking that breath of fresh air, listening to the trees and feeling the warmth of the sun. I thought what a beautiful day (which overshadowed the pain of the ball going into the trees).
How often we rush through life, missing those simple gifts God has given us to experience His love for us. Thank you Yony for reminding me to take time to enjoy the beauty of not only nature, but of our family as well.
