Good for you. I hope more do this, also, and that he makes sure he relays our appreciation.
This sure beats the 'whine' France gave us. :)
I was struck by the spiritual nature of this gift. The US has no need for 14 cows. But, we will sell the cows and use the money to buy Maasai beaded jewelry to give to the 9/11 victims' families. In essence, we've acknowledged the gift and given it back to them in a way that will help them.
How often do we bring our puny gifts to the Lord -- gifts from a heart overflowing with gratitude. God has no "need" for our gifts, but the gesture touches Him in such a way that we receive it back "pressed down and overflowing".
I'm touched by their gift, and I hope the US will be generous with them.
