Kenya Orphans helped because of generous people

Today I keep thinking of the Bible verse from II Corinth. 1:3-4 "The Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."  You see I recently received gifts from people here in various spots in the USA who wanted to reach out in their pain to help our orphans alleviate some of theirs. One is from a Dad who lost his teen-age daughter in a car accident. He now sponsors one of our little girls.  Another check came from an adult daughter who lost her father, but is reaching out in his name to help the kids in His Arms.  Then one check came today from a husband who recently lost his young wife to cancer leaving behind children still in the home.  He wanted the orphans to feel love, too, even in the midst of his sadness.

I only wish all of these donors could see the face of the precious children they are helping. They may even be saving these kids lives because now they can get nutritious food, safe water to drink and have HOPE!.  I wish they were the ones that will get the hugs from these appreciative kids when the team arrives in October!  These kids will be so excited.  So my prayer is that somehow I can convey to these donors what their generous gifts mean to these precious children, how much comfort and hope it brings to them, even as God is comforting these Americans going through sad times themselves.

Lord may you bless all of our compassionate donors who make His Arms Orphan Project in Maseno, Kenya a reality!! Thank them for helping to comfort so many others!
