That post I was talking about...

I said I was going to post "tomorrow." I've been a bit busy, but the words from this book I'm reading haven't left my mind. I'm reading Kisses from Katie and while she amazes me, I'm thankful the Lord is using her to impact the U.S. and other countries. Katie is now around 24 years old and is the mother to 14 Ugandan little girls. I just wanted to post a couple of paragraphs from her book that spoke to me...
The truth is that the 143 million orphaned children and the 11 million who starve to death or die from preventable diseases and the 8.5 million who work as child slaves, prostitutes, or under other horrific conditions and the 2.3 million who live with HIV add up to 164.8 million needy children. And though at first glance that looks like a big number, 2.1 billion people on this earth are Christians. 


The truth is that if only 8 percent of the Christians would care for one more child, there would not be any statistics left.


This is the Truth. I have the freedom to believe it. The freedom, the opportunity to do something about it. The truth is that He loves these children just as much as He loves me and now that I know, I am responsible.


People.... we just read it, now we know it, now we are responsible. It doesn't mean you have to go or even give to Uganda necessarily, but it does mean that the children of this world deserve God's love- no matter who they are- American, Chinese, Ugandan, or Australian....they are His and He made us, His followers, responsible.

Peace and Love~ Kristen
