“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, wether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through Him who gives me strength. ”
2020 is absolutely epic. It will be an unforgettable year like none other-for everyone! While it’s been an absolutely challenging year for most everyone, it’s also been a year of growth in unexpected areas-IF you are watering those areas! What we focus on grows. We can focus on our challenges OR we can focus on helping others. We can focus on what we’ve lost OR we can focus on what we’ve gained. We can focus on despair OR we can focus on hope. We have a choice and that choice requires effort and strengthening of the muscles of gratitude!
While 2020 has been so hard for us blessed and privileged Americans, it’s been unfathomably hard for our brothers and sisters across the globe who struggle to receive education, a meal in their belly, medical care and clean water on a good day! This pandemic has shaken them to their core and yet they are filled with gratitude for what they do have! We can all learn so much from those who are used to clinging to Jesus for their daily needs!
We are blessed that while our sponsorship program has taken some losses, overall, Give Amore is still going strong making a difference in the lives of so many with a new clean water well, jigger clinics, additional food provisions for our children and their guardian families, resuming of our computer and sewing schools and so much more!
We continue to water the meaningful things in the lives of other and focus on what we CAN do! While much is out of our control, we can continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus! This is exactly what Jesus would do! Read on for just a few positive stories of how we are continuing to make a difference. We are so thankful for our donors who make this all possible!
May God bless you and keep you safe!
