I have become convinced that if God stands a child before you, for even just a minute, it is a divine appointment.

What’s your cause? Does it move you to tears? What is it that moves you passionately?

Children are more than we think they are; they can do more than we think they can do. All they need is a vote of confidence from grownups, whom they will ultimately replace anyway. Their dream today will become the realities of tomorrow.

Nurturing a child’s sense of personal worth and therefore hope and dreams for a wonderful future is perhaps the most important responsibility of every grownup in a child’s life.

To be compassionate in this hurting world means it will cost you something.

Every child you encounter is a divine appointment.

There is nothing to be intimidated about - it's just another long run where a few more people show up and they happen to wear numbers.
