Stirred to Compassion Through Cold Feet

I wrote this 3 years ago during Transit before I took my first trip to Ukraine... This was the first blog I'd ever written :-)

"Okay, so last night there was no heat in our house. As I tried desperately to go to sleep all I could really do was think about how cold my feet were! After about twenty minutes of this it dawned on me that the orphans I am going to be living with in Ukraine this June were probably enduring with no heat as well....and probably for much longer than one night. This realization moved me to pray for about an hour for those kids and so many others around the world. So, if you live in a cold climate and have heat tonight thank God, if you live in a warm climate and have air conditioning tonight thank God and even if you don't have either of those thank God for the opportunity to empathize with others."
