The winner was a four year old child whose next door
neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his
wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the
old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the
little boy said, ‘Nothing, I just helped him cry’.

is that You know they may be needing this day! And may
their life be full of Your peace, prosperity and power as
he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with You. Amen.
