What moves you?

At church yesterday Mark preached on Compassion.

1. Compassion cares
-Matthew 9:35-38
2. Compassion heals
-Matthew 14:13-14
Compassion Feeds
-Matthew 15:32-39

Other scriptures
-Proverbs 14:31
-Proverbs 21:13
-Isaiah 58:10
-1John 3:17
-Proverbs 31:8-9

He also talked about "adopting" a child through Compassion international ( http://www.compassion.com/default.htm ) an organization that is over 50 yrs old that helps children in need all over the world for just $32 a month. We are looking into "adopting" our own child soon. I think we are going to let Avery pick out who she wants to help. Then we can send that child letters, and they can write us back etc... I think it will be a great learning experiance for Avery as well as help someone who trully needs it for about what it costs us to go to McDonald's. Seriously who can turn that down.
