Amy Carmichael Part Two~Tea & A Little Girl



Written by Rachael Waite January 22, 2009


ONE DAY AMY AND HER MOTHER went on a trip to a city called Belfast. While they were at Belfast they stopped at a tea room for a special treat. They ate delicious tea and scones. As they enjoyed this treat Amy noticed a little girl outside, peering in the window with hungry, wide eyes. She was dressed in rags, and Amy thought she looked like she was about her age. The little girl gazed at all the wonderful treats Amy was enjoying.

Amy's memory of that little girl never left her. She wrote a poem about the girl.

"When I grow up and money have
I know what I will do;
I'll build a great big lovely place
for little girls like You."

God had a special plan for Amy's life. He was going to use her to save many homeless children like the little girl she saw in rags.
