Hope for Sunshine: compassion

My kids have been watching a lot of Jonah the veggie tales version. One line that always sticks out to me is when someone asks what compassion is and is told, "compassion is when you see someone who needs help, and you want to help them". Pretty simple huh. We could all use a little compassion every now and then.

Meet Cliff. Cliff is 6 years old and currently weighs 11 pounds. Cliff needs some compassion. Some serious compassion. Can we all help him come home quickly? I know personally, that many small donations add up to bring a child home. To rescue a child forever. To pay the ransom due to free him from his chains and let him spread his wings and fly free. I can't imagine what his daily life is like.

He reminds me of my Jo. Living with daily issues that we would consider horrific or inhumane. And he still has a smile on his face. Her spirit was unbreakable in the end, and I think, his is too. He is still smiling. Smiling even though he is starving. Smiling even though he is probably desperate for someone to hold and snuggle him. Smiling. Simply, smiling. Please go here and drop Cliff some help, together we can bring him home.

Song that makes me think of Cliff <3

Hold on to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
