From the heart tidbit!

Good Morning! Had the best and soundest of sleeps last night!

Today, I decided (after much procrastination! LOL!) that I had better starting "working out" on our machine.....and turned the T.V. on this am, to take my mind off the actual physical exercise! (to make the efforts easier! LOL!) Mind over matter! LOL!

On the World Vision channel, (channel 11; GLBBC -Shaw T.V.) there were / are sponsors urgently needed for impoverished children of impoverished areas of the world....I had tried to change the station to absorb the news (not that there is a lot of happy World news, out there!); but kept coming back to this program....It really touched a tidbit of me.....to the heart....

So, we now have a "Sponsor Child." We chose a child that was in the greatest need...Ended up with "Phos", a little boy, age 10, (in a family of 2 brothers, and 1 sister). He and his family live in Cambodia....apparently, the tiny village is rampant / infested with the HIV Aids virus. The little boy does not have it; however, he and family members, and others in their community, could be orphaned down the road.....

Our monthly donation will provide medical supplies, education, knowledge, proper care, etc - whatever is needed for this little boy. Eventhough, we are helping one little boy, his siblings and family will benefit as well.

With the name, "Phos"....I am thinking of the phosphorous, vividly relected by the moon and the stars on the ocean! The inescapable dancing of the sea; as in the lapping sound of gentle waves, the tides in a perpetual motion , even at a calm steady pace, - late at night...It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful sights to me! Effervescent sparkling phosphorence!!!! Totally awesome! This is how I hope "Phos" will become, once he knows he has a sponsor family; who cares about his well being, and being given a second chance for a better life; rather than just existing or worse.

Within the next short while, we will be receiving the information about "Phos". (do not know if his name is abbreviated; but will find out!) - including a photo....

As a tidbit, for those interested, I will give you the telephone number, I called: 1-800-289-0321.

God Bless, til the next "tidbit!"
