It's like the bridge between two worlds - where grown ups live and write and work and where kids need to learn and grow and be challenged. Your wife wrote an amazing bridge. It was a privilege to walk it. Thank you. -Lisa-Jo What a treasure to see this trip through a mother’s eyes – literally.

I hope to one day meet our sponsored child, too, but until then, it does my heart good to experience it through you.  It may not happen until heaven, but I would also love to meet Becky and just talk.  A lot.  She inspires me. </p> Thank you for this.  Reading it was such a blessing.

I’ve only followed the GIRLS’ blogs from India this week (Angie, Melissa, Anne, Robin). LOVED these e-mails from Becky. We have 3 kids too (8, 6, and 3). I desperately want to go on a trip like this someday. The thought of leaving my girls just about does me in though. E-mailing like that would be a HUGE help. </p> <p> Please thank Becky for being such an inspiration to me. </p> Confession.

I love the practical application of teaching our children about the world through sponsorship. We have actually done that, though not on purpose, which I think is probably a God thing. Our compassion child is in Ethiopia and is the same age and birth month as our 6 year old and our child in Uganda(through our church’s orphan program)is 13 like our middle one. Having the kids write actual letters to the kids is a great way, like you said, to build that relationship. I tend to take care of all that, but I am allowing them to miss out if I don’t involve them more. Thanks for sharing and your wife’s posts are precious! </p> Seriously love this post.
