Dear God... Why do my parents work so much? They're hardly ever home?
Ah Karen, I'm so sorry. Sometimes as parents we get so busy making a living, we forget to live, and we forget who we're actually doing it for! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. My friend, Dr. James Dobson says, "Both quality and quantity are important in our lives — including how we relate to our children. They need our time and the best we have to give them." At Compassion.com — there's a list of "Ten Ways to Love a Child." Like reading books out loud. Baking a cake then eating it with your fingers! Answering questions. Making memories. Introducing them to Jesus. It's been said, "The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow. But the rainbow won't wait while you do the work!" This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion — to that child in your world.
