Although I wrote this last year, I feel it deserves a repeat-performance. I visited this family again recently and brought their daughter Lilly an actual malaria net, like those World Vision uses in Africa because I know the compassion she feels for those affected by malaria, an experience from a previous visit with her folks. She’s a busy 7-year-old now and couldn’t remember the entire incident, so I promised to find what I’d written last year and send it to her.

Re-reading it blessed me and I hope it blesses you, too.
