Katie from the Journey, see my blog side bar, writes about a woman in Uganda.

" Todi, widowed after her 3rd child was born, had recently taken in her sister's 5 children after her sudden death. " what was my choice" she asked. " God says I look after the orphans, I look after the orphans."

I am struck by this woman's sacrifice, taking on more children will mean less food or at times maybe no food for her own children. It is so clear to her that this is the right thing to do. I do wonder what it would be like to see this kind of suffering right before your eyes. Would I respond the way she would?

Lord, show me ways I need to "follow you". Help me to be willing to sacrifice like this woman has. Like your son has for us. I pray that I will always be willing to hold loosely to my time, family, space in our home.
