Matt has always wanted Sammy to have a brother. Sammy wants someone to share his room with him and play with him like his boy cousins do. For the most part, he doesn't mind having three sisters. Thankfully one of my nephews, who is the same age, lives only a few blocks away. The two of them play well together and it satisfies Sammy's desire to play active, crazy boy stuff. I'm very grateful that my nephews parents decided to stay in the area, and their son is one of those reasons.
Meanwhile, Matt and I wanted to get our children involved with missions and helping out others. With the kids being little, we are limited in ways we can help. Currently we try to help by providing meals for people who might need it, helping other parents by watching their kids, and trying to demonstrate common courtesies to strangers.
Yesterday we decided on one more step. We wanted to expose our children to ministering to people who live in other areas. Heading over to the Compassion International website, Sammy picked out our Compassion child. He now has a "brother" who lives in Indonesia. He is very excited about him and can't wait to send and receive letters from him. Both he and Elizabeth will be helping to support this little boy. They both receive tokens for the extra chores that they do around the house. Each month they will donate tokens to our Compassion child to help support him. They also will be writing some of the letters.
I'm excited to see them be excited for this new adventure and look forward to watch our new "son" grow through the years.
