Dear God. . .I want to teach children to love you and to write and read!
You're such a special young lady, Brigette! I have great confidence that you will do exactly what you set out to do. And hundreds of children — thousands! — will know Jesus because you taught them well! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. I love the quote that says, "There are few successful adults who were not first successful children." And that success comes from having a caring adult in their lives. A Sunday school worker who teaches them the books of the Bible or their first memory verse, the children's choir director who develops a child's gift of music, a school teacher who shares a love of reading and sparks the imagination of a child. Think small! Think "can do!" This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion to a child in your world.
