At our Bible time after breakfast one morning this past October, we were talking about how God speaks to us. We talked about how He speaks to us through the Bible, through authorities in our lives, through nature, through love from friends and family, and He also places things in our hearts. When we got to the part about speaking to the heart, we all paused and closed our eyes and listened to see if God was telling us anything.
Kelly Grace closed her eyes for a brief moment and then said, "He just told me something! He told me to give $100.00!" I said, "Wow! Where would you give the money?" She candidly put up her finger and said, "Hold on..." and she went back to closing her eyes! Then she opened them and said, "To orphans!".
And that is exactly what she has done! We talked about how to raise the money and she went for it. She wrapped candy for her grandparents gourmet food store, she was blessed with donations, collected spare change, and (my favorite one) she asked to babysit her counsins!
As of this past Wednesday, she hit her goal and came in at $102.76! Last night she choose 3 orphan care ministries to bless. It is amazing how God uses us to change the world when we listen to Him...even if you are 5 years old!
