Counting Blessings - week 2.

[curiouswombat]

For those of you who are counting your blessings with us, under the cut are -


Sunday - In some countries many people are disabled, some from acts of violence. Give 2p for each healthy limb of every family member.

Monday - Some people are deaf and dumb. Give 3p for each hymn in church yesterday. If you did not go to church, give 20p.

Tuesday - Many malnourished children do not live 5 years. Give 5p for each family member over 5 years old.

Wednesday - Some people are blind, others have poor unaided sight. Give 5p for each pair of spectacles in your house.

Thursday - Communication is vital, and it is nice to receive letters or phone calls. Give 3p for each letter or phone call received in your home today.

Friday - Some people sleep rough at night, even in our country. Give 4p for every bed in your house.

Saturday - Tea and coffee are cash crops grown in some poor countries. give 2p for every cup of tea or coffee drunk in your home today.

Sunday - Democracy and freedom are things we take for granted, others are less fortunate. Make a freewill offering for your freedom.



ETA - I've just realised the 'location' thing is a clicky - and it takes you to a google map - so my original location, which was 'right here on my settee' confused it - it put me in Vermont in the USA!! I have changed it to the more boring and more prosaic entry you now see! I wonder if it now works?

It is a full four week list - this is week 2 - we are doing it to raise funds for our children's group at church, but a couple of LJ people are joining us and giving the money to a charity of their choice. It's very good at reminding us that we really are lucky.
