Dear God . . . When Jesus lived here, what did his parents look like?
Johnny, my guess is they looked very ordinary. Mary and Joseph lived in a poor farming village and didn't have a lot of things that would draw attention. God chose a humble young couple to be the parents of Jesus! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. God uses ordinary people to accomplish incredible things for Him. Your encouraging words in a simple letter to a child can make all the difference in the world. It opens their little hearts and minds to all kinds of dreams and possibilities just because you think they matter! What can you possibly do? Read a story to a child, play a game, toss a baseball — love a child in need! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion to that child in your world!
