Dear God . . . Do you have a birthday?
Not in the way you and I do, my friend! But He sure knows the day you were born — and everything about you — the color of your hair and eyes, even the way you smile! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. How children see themselves shapes how they engage the world. And the more you can do to build up a child — to let them know they are special, the more they will achieve. Around our house we make a big deal of birthdays. It's our "signature day." Is there a child you know who needs to be remembered? To be "celebrated?" Have a birthday party — with balloons, cake — the whole nine yards. Just to say, "You're special. You matter!" This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion for a child in your world.
