Funny?

I wanted to share something I noticed while I was talking with a friend not too long ago (If you are a Facebook user, you might have noticed as well).
I post many statuses throughout the days and weeks telling of little things I'm doing. Things like watching movies, who I'm hanging out with, a verse, quotes, or whatever. These statuses of mine usually receive many comments and "likes" from various friends of mine. This, however, is not what troubles me. I have been posting a link to our Sponsor children page on my facebook over the last couple weeks. There has not been one comment from anyone (a few "likes" from others in our Faith Family), but not one from anyone who isn't already supporting these kids. It is very discouraging to me that people tend to stay away from those things that convict them or are of no importance to them. In reality, this is very important! James 1:27 talks about caring for the orphans and widows in their distress. We are all called to this, whether it's adopting or sponsoring. Praise the Lord that 2 of the children have been sponsored so far, but that 2 is out of 20. And that is nothing compared to the other 147 million orphans in the world. It saddens me that people do not realize the needs of these children. They are real and they are HUNGRY!

I just want it to be clear that I'm not pointing out one person in particular or judging anyone. I'm simply sharing my frustration. I have full faith in God that he is going to supply for these children. How wonderful to be a part of something like this! Please pray about it and check out our page! (: To God be the Glory!
