I often see things during my daily life that remind me of the work of ELCA World Hunger. These little things make my brain spin as I consequently try to come up with an inspired blog idea.

  1. A few weeks ago I was in Copenhagen and as I walked along the cobblestones I noticed a sign on the corner of a building across the street. On the side of the sign it mentioned the ACT Alliance<\/a> or Action by Churches Together. The ELCA<\/a> is a member of ACT and we often collaborate with other members to support projects around the world, such as our response to the 2010 floods in Pakistan<\/a>. As I walked through the store I discovered that it was a very unique mix of coffee shop, fair trade store and vintage clothing shop in one. It turns out that the shop, fisk<\/a>, supports the work of Dan Church Aid — another member of the ACT Alliance.<\/li>\n
  2. Today I was at an outdoor store with my brother exchanging one of his Christmas gifts. While he was at the register I wandered past the reusable water bottles where I read a great quote from Benjamin Franklin printed on one of them, \u201cWhen the well is dry, we know the worth of water.\u201d I admit I don\u2019t know the context of when this quote was originally said, but it made my mind wander. I started to think about what it would be like if my faucet didn\u2019t turn on, or if the rain didn\u2019t fall or what it feels like when I forget to pray. There are many people around the world who know the value of water much better than I do. ELCA World Hunger supports water projects<\/a> around the world.<\/li>\n
  3. This weekend I finally buckled down and went through my closet. As I put together a pile of clothes to give away I thought about World Hunger\u2019s emphasis on simple living<\/a>. It felt good to pare down my life in that way, but also comforting to know that those clothes wouldn\u2019t end up in a landfill, but instead, hopefully, become a positive addition to another person\u2019s life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What things in your day to day life remind you of the work of ELCA World Hunger? What reminds you of those who could use a little bit of help? What things remind you of our brothers and sisters in Christ who are hungry or are fighting hunger around the world?<\/p>\n
