Dear God...Why do we have so many hurricanes? They kill people!
Storms are scary and it's very sad when people die because of them. Jacquelin, even though I don't understand why these things happen, I know God promises to be with you when you're frightened, to give you comfort and courage! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Comforting a child takes time and understanding — and a lot of love. Children experience loss in so many different ways. Loss of a parent because of divorce, loss of a grandparent who dies, loss of a friend who moves away. And yet it takes so little to make a huge difference. A hug, a kind word, a smile, asking a question, praying together. Comfort a child —deliberately! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion. Comfort a child in your world!
