The Oppostie of Poverty Is Not Wealth



"The oppostite of poverty is not wealth. The opposite of poverty is enough."

-Compassion International President Wes Stafford

I love this comment - as I tire of people wanting more...more.... more.

It is almost as if - "ENOUGH" is the sign of a loser in Western culture. You have enough.

This holiday season - or anytime of the year, actually, you have the opportunity to sponsor a child in poverty. It is unbelievably inexpensive to do.

This organization does a great job - you even get the opportunity to correspond with "your" child.

You can give the gift of sponsorship - to someone else if you want to add meaning to two lives....the sponsored child and the recipient of your generosity.

This is going to be a tough Christmas - making everyone want their gift giving dollars to go farther...and have more meaning. If you fall under this category, take a trip over to Compassion International and see just how easy and inexpensive this is.
