Go!
It is so great that Olivia and Matthew dreamed big and raised the $26,000 for Michael's surgery. I loved that other kids were involved in the solution. I'm glad that it wasn't Whit who footed the entire bill! Not that that would have been a bad solution. I just liked the involvement of the other kids.
One of my favorite moments from the show was when Eva met Senator Esther and Esther revealed that Eva had sponsored her. I've been sponsoring a little girl in the Philippines for the past 5+ years. In just couple months, I am going to the Philippines on a mission trip and will likely meet her! This is a great example of the principle of sowing and reaping. Eva's funds and encouraging words in the letters were like sowing seeds. Now the harvest reaped is evident: a leader in her village who is confident of God's love and purpose for her and all people.
The show wrap up was excellent. Olivia's interview of her family members was heartfelt and humorous. In addition, Chris' words spoke to me. What a great reminder that God loves us with and everlasting love! In my head, yeah, of course I know of God's unconditional love, but sometimes, especially as a person who loves to achieve things, I focus too much on tasks and forget that I am valuable just because. When everything's stripped away. God, I choose to receive your everlasting love now and forevermore!
Great episode!
