During Ian’s last couple of weeks, one phrase that was always heard was “I’m hungry.” As the tumor grew into his hypothalamus, his little brain was fooled into thinking that he was never satisfied. As a parent, it was wrenching to know that I could not satisfy my child’s hunger, even it if wasn’t real.
Listening to the radio this morning, I found out that today (3/11/2009) is Global Food Crisis Day. Between the time I went to sleep last night and woke up this morning 25,000 children died simply because the food they needed to survive wasn’t near them. Their hunger is real. The food exists, we just need to get it to them.
Please go to Compassion International’s page and consider helping feed a child in the name of Jesus.
