Little Bedoin boy at Petra, Jordan was quite upset because he wasn't making many sales to the tourists. When we left he was happier. Joy!

Thanks Chuck. Selling rocks is a "hard" way to make a living for a family.... K.W. #5272851

Well K.W. you broke my heart today. Life is so difficult for so much of the world. We really don't appreciate the things we have enough and we certainly don't share those things enough. The bible say that we are to share that there might be equality. If Christians would practice this more there would be a lot less hunger and pain. God bless my friend and have a God filled New Year.

This is truly an awesome image. #5279308

My New Year's prayer is that I will praise God more for who He is and be more thankful and mindful. Being at Petra was mostly a prayer walk for me as these precious little children came up selling rocks and the like. I bought probably too much of their stuff, I guess. Raise praise, K.W. #5281295

Thanks Stephanie. I revisit Petra in February 2008. I will look for this little fella again and see if I can upload an updated image of him. Maybe a smile this time? Raise Praise, K.W. #5283852
