Burdens and Blossoms

A third-grade girl is happy to be with her friends at Rogers. Happy, and blessed. She was taken from her mother by the State last year. She is sponsored by her kind-of-grandparents who are both are retired and living on a very limited income. "Grandpa" has serious health problems.

Her sponsors have so many burdens, that it seems impossible for them to sponsor her. Yet, month by month they manage to scrape up the means to do it. They feel compelled to. And undisturbed, planted in good soil, this little girl blossoms.
