Pastor Simon

I met Pastor Simon at church yesterday and we spent some time talking. He
is 82 years old and is still pastoring a church. He said to me that he
liked me. A few minutes later he brought me his four year old grand
daughter and told me that she is an orphan and that he is raising three
other orphans. He said I'm giving you my grand daughter to raise as I
cannot do it any longer. I politely refused and told him I would make sure
that World Vision would come along side of him. I talked with the
sponsorship coordinator today and she assured me that the little girl is a
recently sponsored child and would be taken care of. What an emotional
moment and a great comfort that she will be taken care of.
