Dear God . . . If I had a scooter — I'd tell everyone You gave it to me!
How many of us adults are still trying to bargain with God? Just give me "this"… and I promise to do "that!" This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. What this young boy in India didn't bargain for was the poverty he and his family endure. It's not possible for children to have everything they want. It's not even good for them. But we must be ready to give children "some" of the things dreams are made of. Many churches and organizations provide toys, dolls — even scooters — to children in poverty. If your church isn't one of them — it would be a great project for you to spearhead. People are willing to help — they just need a nudge. This is Wess Stafford.
