Wes Stafford is the President and CEO of Compassion International. He's written a book called 'Just a Minute' - a collection of stories, based around the powerful concept that 'in the heart of a child, one moment can last forever.' This is something I need to remember more and more.


''with each child you encounter, you have the power to build up, or sadly tear down. A life can be..launched with a single word, an uplifting comment, a well timed hug, a tender prayer, the holding of a frightened hand or the gentle wiping of a tear all in just one minute."


I have copied this quote from a friends Blog because I find it to be very true.  There are gems to be found in what kids say, sometimes they use 3 times as many words as they need to with lots of padding out, lol.
