Heartbreaking...

As Tim and I are deciding what to make for dinner we get an email from a friend of ours with the video, which is linked below. As we watch this video it is heartbreaking to see the devastation the people of Ethiopia are facing. And to think we are going back and forth, on our many options, of what we should eat for dinner and all these people want is any bit of food they can get.

It breaks my heart to watch and see so many people hungry just for one bite of food. Think of how many americans put at least one thing of food in their mouths every hour. We could never go a day without eating anything. Thanks for posting that video.

It is so tough to see and experience this. I can't imagine what it would be like to not have any food to feed my children and have to watch them starve to death. It's something I never want to experience, yet so many have to. It's just difficult and there's no other word I can think of to describe this atrocity that's going on. I just have to hope in the Lord and ask Him to guide me in how to help. Thanks for sharing this...

How is your paper chasing going? I hope it's going well...

That is the saddest thing I have ever seen. I almost had to turn it off. I am so proud of you guys for giving one of these children a home.
