I am reprinting my post, Mercy, from April 25, 2021. The child we sponsor in Mexico is now 5 years old. Compassion sent us a form to write a Christmas greeting, for the child and his parents, and they will translate for us. We also correspond through email, courtesy of Compassion International. It is easy to stay in touch and offer encouragement. We are blessed.

Offer unto God thanksgiving;
and pay thy vows unto the most High:
And call upon me in the day of trouble:
I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
