I've been following Shannon's blog as she traveled to Uganda and back to promote the sponsorship of Compassion children. This post has especially been on my mind as I walk through my home (why, with all the other stuff she's said, this one? Dunno.). And I didn't even go and have to go through re-entry.
Anyway, I've felt an urgent need to get rid of stuff. As if somehow ridding my home of unappreciated toys and clothes will feed a child in dire straits.
I don't know, maybe I'm hoping it will at least make us appreciate what we have more.

I think that making life simpler (less toys, clothes, STUFF) doesn't necessarily feed one hungry child immediately, or educate one poverty stricken child, but it creates a mindset and a lifestyle for your children - who do have the potential to feed, educate, and make a difference.
Just passing by your blog and noticed your post concerning Uganda. We are missionaries in Uganda--www.colorfulkiddos.blogspot.com. I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have!
