Dear God...Why did Abraham live so many years? People die much earlier now!
John, you are very observant! Nobody lives hundreds of years anymore…it may seem like that to some of us! But our lives are getting shorter and shorter. For some, much too short. So many lives are being lost today… to preventable diseases. When a child dies, we all lose a part of ourselves. And those of us, who have the means, must do everything we can to prolong and enrich lives. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. It's no surprise that John wonders why people are dying earlier. In Abraham's time there was no AIDS. Did you know the life expectancy in Kenya has dropped to just 43 years? But there's hope! With inoculations, medicines and surgeries that save and prolong life! Get involved. You can make a difference! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion — reach out to children in need!
