Honor A Child>Sponsor A Child

After my daughter was born sleeping, I struggled to find the right way to honor her memory. I scoured the internet for ideas and came up empty. I wanted something for our family to honor her, not just me.

Years went by and I abandoned the desire to find the perfect thing. It was then that I was introduced to Compassion International. This organization works through local churches to provide child development programs that deliver children from economic, physical, social and spiritual poverty, enabling them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults. They do this by informing, motivating and equipping others to become advocates for children.

I immediately knew God wanted me to sponsor a child through Compassion International to honor my daughter. Here is the really cool part: we were able to sponsor a child born on her birthday! We have his picture hanging on our fridge, and also in a frame on our dinning table where our family prays for him and his family every meal time. And when we have guests, his picture brings up conversation. We are able to talk about him, and Compassion International as well as our daughter. It is an amazing way to keep our daughter in our hearts and further God’s kingdom in her honor.

Perhaps you are struggling to find that perfect thing to celebrate your loss. I challenge you to look up Compassion International. Honor your child in Heaven by sponsoring a child here on Earth.
