She gets it

Lily in all her 4 yr old sweetness prays every day for the kids of Uganda. For a.g.e.s now it’s gone something like this “Jesus, the Ganda kids got no food, and lots of them sick – please give them pamol and porridge, and me and my dad gonna go build them a house or two houses”. Now while we’ve talked loads about the kids in Uganda and their needs we’ve never mentioned Pamol (pain relief) or giving them porridge (oats) nor building houses for them, but she gets it. She knows their need.



Now her prayers are changing – she still prays for pamol, porridge and houses, but she’s been holding her arms out wide while she prays for teams to go, and for teams to be kind to each other and help each other. Last night she asked me if her friend Maeghan was going to go live in Uganda too. When I told her she wasn’t she got upset, and through her sobs said “Who will help? We can’t make nuf porridge for all them, we need people to help. There’s lotsa kids in Ganda. Who will come with us mum?” She really gets it. Jesus put it this way “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” Luke 10:27
