Dear God . . . What kind of music do you like? I'll write a song for you!
What a special treat for your heavenly Father, Karen! He will be so pleased — because it comes from you! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. You show a child she is valued when you praise her abilities. When you kneel and give loving attention to her treasures, her artwork, her funny little songs. Look deep into a child's eyes and tell him or her how proud you are of their creations. Self-esteem is a foundational building block for our self-identity. It's how we view ourselves in relation to the world around us. There's a child who needs you to listen — actively! To respond with words and actions. Go ahead. You'll be amazed at a child's response! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion — show value to a child in your world!
