Dear God. . .do you like chocolate ice-cream? It's my favorite!
What a fun buddy you are, Javier! I'm sure God is delighted to be your friend. By the way, my favorite is also chocolate!! I bet God loves chocolate, too. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Whether it's taking a child out for ice-cream or reading a book — or playing in the park — it doesn't take a formal organization to become a volunteer! Is there a single parent who could use another adult in their child's life? A niece or a nephew who'd love you to attend their game or concert? Nurture a child, encourage his or her hopes and dreams. Believe me, it's one of the most important responsibilities you have in a child's life! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion — and have an ice cream cone with a child in your world!
