Dear God...Can I live with my parents? I've lived with my grandma since I was little.
I know you must miss your parents deeply, little buddy. But you can thank God for giving you such a loving grandma to take care of you! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Over 2 1/2 million grandparents are responsible for the care, support, nurture and protection of their grandchildren — and that's just here in the U.S. It's been said that "Grandparents, like heroes, are as necessary to a child's growth as vitamins!" And the benefit isn't one-sided either. Just ask any grandma who gets to spend time with her precious little ones. Being a grandparent is a gift from God, and the blessings that come from those relationships are what one proud grandparent calls — "breathtaking!" This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion — you're God's gift to a child!
