Sponsorship Saturday ~ Snow!

February 20, 2018 By Michelle

One more letter writing idea for you on this Sponsorship Saturday! Since Colorado has received some much needed snow this week, I am reposting this letter idea. 🙂

Since moving to Colorado I’ve developed a love for snow. It used to be that I only loved “snow days” but after a year of living in northern Canada, I pretty much love all aspects of Colorado snow. And guess what It is snow season right now! So I decided to write about SNOW and send some fun snow related items to our sponsored children. I found this printable, and paired it with recent snowy photographs and pages of winter themed stickers from Michaels.

Valentine’s Day on Sponsorship Saturday

It’s time to send Valentines to our Compassion Sponsored Children! The New Year has rolled in, but it isn’t too late to send off some Valentine’s greetings to your sponsored children. And it certainly isn’t too late to put together some sweet greetings for children in your family or community! This Sponsorship Saturday I want to share the letter we sent for Valentine’s Day in 2015.

Perfectly Unique ~ Sponsorship Saturday

Perfectly Unique, Sponsorship Saturday

Several letter writing ideas swirl in my mind often, but getting them down on paper isn’t always done before I forget those great ideas. Understanding that about myself, I began to be intentional about looking for an idea for a series of letters to pre-write to our Compassion Sponsored Children. These letters are among the most popular posts on By Quiet Waters.

Letter Writing Inspiration

Early in the summer of 2015 I had made a commitment to myself to finish some of the books I started reading, but for one reason or another, hadn’t finished. Perfectly Unique by Annie Downs is one of those books. As I read the book, I was looking for quotes and ideas to infuse into my conversations with my daughters. And I was also inspired to write a series of three letters to our sponsored children. These letters are quite simple, but I hope the message is clear. Every child is planned for, loved, and has purpose. That is what I want each of my own children to know and believe, and each of our sponsored children well.Continue Reading

First Letter from Priti, Remembering on this Sponsorship Saturday

May 14, 2016 By Michelle

Letters from our sponsored children are so exciting to receive. One afternoon in the autumn of 2012 I opened our first one from Priti. A ring of sweet ladies were circled around me, waiting for their turn to read the letter.

This letter though, was difficult to read and process. We were dealing with some significant home repairs needed (main sewer line repairs), but we had enough resources to meet that need. We have a Builder Man who has good work, who has a bounty of creative, technical knowledge and skill to tackle this repair, we had the funds needed to pay for the repair. Honestly, we have more than enough.

The letter.

First Aid, Sponsorship Saturday

April 30, 2016 By Michelle

How about the topic of FIRST AID for this Sponsorship Saturday? A letter with these first aid coloring pictures and some band aids an idea to wrap up this month. I found these images during lots of searching on the internet and now I am not sure where I originally found them! But for the correspondence I did a little editing and sent them off.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit ~ Sponsorship Saturday

April 16, 2016 By Michelle

The Tale of Peter Rabbit and a little about Beatrix Potter is what is in the mail to our sponsored children this month. The stories of Beatrix Potter are so very charming and I think Peter Rabbit will be enjoyed all over the world as the children receive these letters in Asia, Africa, South America and Central America. With the letter I printed off copies of The Tale of Peter Rabbit from Gutenberg Project. I also googled images of Beatrix Potter and a map of the United Kingdom and added those to the letters. After completing, there are 5 pieces to each bundle of correspondence, which fits perfectly under Compassion International’s new Correspondent Guidelines.
