2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land..”

God Bless America! We live in the greatest nation on earth. It is an amazing land, filled with opportunity for all. We will not always agree with our leadership. I am reminded of a life lesson that I was taught by one of the greatest men in my life, my grandfather. From an early age he encouraged me to pray for anyone, or about anything that was bothering me. It is a hard lesson to live by. He prayed for our country and its leaders every day, and I am determined to follow his example. I believe if we will all follow the instructions above, we will see an amazing change in our wonderful country. Rest in Peace, Papa, June 10, 2014.

This issue: Be sure to browse all of the wonderful opportunities and resources for the special needs community in our July Issue. It is so important to focus on the health of our greatest gifts, our children. Take a look at what our advertisers have to offer and let them know that Kids Directory sent you. :) In our next issue: Our big “back to school” book! Summer is too short.
