Dear FriendsOnce in a while you meet somebody who is an exceptional person. Their faith, purity of heart and selfless actions inspire you to desire similar attributes for yourself. If that person is very young, it’s even more outstanding.
Claire is that person for me. Here is her story. On Clair’s 10th
birthday, she asked friends and family to make a donation of money to the ministry in Kenya instead of them giving her personal gifts! This
selfless action is such a great example of faith and purity of heart.
She was willing to give up gifts for herself, so that girls in Kenya
can receive reusable hygiene kits that enable them to stay in school
when they have their periods. What an example of Christ-likeness.
Giving up her desires so others can receive. Claire understands
something that I myself desire to learn and live out more deeply.
I was humbled and honored when she gave me the checks and cash. What a gift of love! This will be my favorite
story to tell the girls in Kenya, the story of Claire’s gift and
the gift of God’s love that He gave on our behalf. Isn’t that
inspirational? There is no age limit in living wholeheartedly for the
kingdom of God. Some of the hygiene kits I will give out to the girls are sponsored by Clair's love gift.
"Days for Girls" mission is to provide reusable hygiene kits to all girls worldwide. If you are interested in their work, visit their website: www.daysforgirls.org
