Dear God. . .Why doesn't my family live together?
I'm so sorry, Silvia, that you and your family are separated. But you need to know it's not your fault, but I know it hurts you deeply! You're part of God's family, and we should all do what we can to make you feel His love and care! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Silvia's heartache certainly isn't reserved for a child in poverty. Children all over the United States — in poverty or not — are asking the same question. Lonely, hurting children are everywhere. Could your church sponsor a monthly kid's night with games, videos, a place to hang out? Maybe you could help them get started! It doesn't take much to tell a child that he or she matters…but it's a message that will stay with them for a lifetime. This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with Compassion!
