Dear God . . . Is it true that turtles live for a bunch of years?
Richard, a great question! In your own country — in the Galapagos Islands, turtles can live more than 200 years! That's old, my friend! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. In another prayer Richard asked, "Dear God, why do people die too soon?" Is it any wonder he's fascinated by turtles that live a long life? Be committed to the emotional needs of children in your immediate care and in your church family. Start a small group that meets regularly to pray for children. Volunteer where children are in need — schools, juvenile detention centers, crisis pregnancy centers. Thousands of children are in a dehumanizing system waiting for someone to believe and invest in them. Give a child the gift of family! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion for a child at risk!
