Dear God . . . Do you answer questions right away — or does it take a lot of time?
My friend, you're great! You remind me of another Simon Peter who had your wonderful honesty. And he was a bit impatient, as well! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Let me ask you: What child has been entrusted to your care and influence? Your own child? Children you coach? Children in your class? List them. And next to each name, put something you could say or do to invest in their spirits the next time you see them. How wonderful if every child was loved, protected and nourished by the adults in his or her life. At least one person who says, "Nothing you could ever say or do would lessen my love for you." This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion — love the children in your world.
