Heifer Project

Feed the dog, feed the cat, feed the fish, make coffee, feed Dave.  My day starts out taking care of others.  I don't mind but there never seems time to take my time.  I rush to get to church to help the children with a Heifer Fair.   The kids made items to sell, like painted flower pots with flowers, or clay key rings or origami flowers to raise money for the Heifer project.  What is the Heifer project you ask?  It is an organization that helps foreign countries by giving them farm animals such as a cow, duck, rabbit or goat and much more.  Have you read the book Beatrice's goat?  or seen her on the Oprah show?  Beatrice was a young girl in Africa who started to sell the milk she got from her Heifer project goat.  She made enough money to obtain another goat and to pass along her wealth to the other natives. Several years later, as told by Oprah, Beatrice was able to attend college in the United States.  Isn't that great? And here I am complaining about my mundane chores.  Forgive me dear Heifer project.  I am truly fortunate with my ordinary life.
