Hello Blogger Nation!
Very excited to have you read about JUNK! Who would have thought that is something to LOVE! Growing up below the poverty line in Eagle Pass, TX you learn to Love other peoples junk:) Nothing looks better than a semi used gorgeous purse from a garage sale, flea market or better yet a hand me down from a cousin. Still today our family recycles most of our junk. I'm a recovering pack rat with hoarding tendencies. Not being wasteful and taking care of the few valuable items that we posses has been drilled in our family since before birth. The only time we buy retail is when items are on sale and multiple coupons are available:)
Not once in Uganda did I see an item wasted. Everything had a purpose and ALL items looked very used and abused. Things did not have a fake plastic shiny coat of bling, it was all beautifly simple and purposeful. Very few people in the city and none in the village had socks. To explain socks to someone who has no shoes, shirt, or undergarments seems like a waste of time. Yet in my home I am guilty of complaining about losing ONE sock in the dryer. Will NOT volunteer to explain a clothes dryer to a Ugandan, I'd be too embarrased.
I boldly pray that the Healing Faith Team has all the supplies necessary to do their mission in Jinja today. Please provide the equipment and human resources to save those lives that need to be healed today. Lord keep Zippi and baby Jason in great health. In your name, Amen.
