I want to dedicate this book first and foremost to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I tremble to think where I would be right now without You. You heard my cry and brought me out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. You put a new song in my mouth. Praise to my God! Because of what You have done for me, many will see that You can do the same for them. You are my awesome God! I love You, Jesus!
I also want to dedicate this book to my husband, Tim. You have stood faithfully by my side and supported me in whatever God has asked me to do. Your willing and giving heart has touched my life in a very special way. I want to thank you for always wanting the best for me, for encouraging me to go on even when everything looked impossible, and for being not only my husband but my most trusted friend. For your listening ear and wise advice but most of all for your unconditional love I love you, honey!
Brenda
My heartfelt thanks to so many people without whom this book would not have been possible:
To my precious parentsthank you for all the love and support you have always given me. Thank you for not judging me but loving me through the pain. But most of all, thank you for introducing me to Jesus. Mom and Dad, I share your dream that someday all our family will be together in heaven, with not one lost. I love you both with all my heart!
To my sisters, Linda and Cindayou are my best friends. I cant imagine my life without you in it. I thank you for your laughter, patience, advice, honesty, and most of all, your love. Kids Time would not be the same without your loving support. What a privilege it is to work with you in Gods ministry. I love you very much!
To my brothers, Jim and Kenno words can describe how special you are to me and how very proud I am of you both. I thank God for each of you. I admire you for your willingness to always put God and family first. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made for me. I love you dearly.
To my girls, Becky and Linda Kayyou are the light of my life! The joy you have brought to my life is immeasurable. I thank God for the privilege of watching you grow, and I am so proud of the women you have become. You are so precious to me. I love you both with all my heart.
To my grandson, Michaelyou will always be Grandmas boy, for you have completely stolen my heart. You are the sunshine of my life.
To my treasured friends, Marie, Carole, Susan, Bonnie, Rita, Jan, Peg, Nancy, Sally, Mecca, Margie, and MildredIm deeply grateful for the fun times weve shared, the times youve lifted me up, and all the precious memories. You will always have my love.
To Three Angels Broadcasting Networkthank you for the privilege of serving Jesus through this worldwide ministry; and to you, Danny, for inspiring me to do more for Jesus.
To Bobby DavisI so appreciate your support, and the encouragement to capture on tape My Cookie Story, thus making it possible for others to receive a blessing too.
To Kay Kuzma for your advice, wisdom, and endless hours editing this book. You have my deepest respect and admiration. You are my mentor and treasured friend.
To Shelley Quinn and Mollie Steenson for your honesty, friendship, and shoulder to lean on, but most of all for your Christian love. We will be neighbors in heaven!
And last but not least, to Kay Rizzo, an incredibly gifted author, for being willing to take my words and make them come to life. For this I am deeply grateful.

The breakfast dishes are done and put away, and I head upstairs to my office to start answering the latest mound of letters that I have received as the producer and host of the Kids Time television program for Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN). As I open one letter and then another, I cant help stopping to say a prayer of thanks for so many blessings. The letters all begin the same: Dear Miss Brenda...
One in particular catches my attention. Its from a girl in London, England:
Dear Miss Brenda,
I just want to write and thank you for Kids Time. I just love it and I watch it every day. My mum says that since Ive started watching Kids Time that I have been minding her more and that she has seen a change in me. Im eleven years old and I try and share Jesus with someone every day just like you said we should do. Today I sat with a girl at school that nobody likes. I tried to be nice to her and even played with her at break time. I think I shared Jesus, what do you think?
Can you please sign me up for Kids Club? I want to learn more about Jesus. My mum says that maybe we can go to church sometime. My dad doesnt live with us anymore. It makes me really sad. Can you please pray for my dad so he will love my mum again?
I love you, Miss Brenda, I want to grow up to be just like you.
Love, Tara
I stop and say a prayer for Tara and her mom and dad before I continue. My heart is touched as I read the next letter. This one is from a father in Iraq:
Dear Miss Brenda,
The warmest greetings to you and all the children everywhere in the world that your wonderful program reaches. I am writing to you with much thankfulness for your program, Kids Time. My children are young and my wife would like to know more about your God to teach our children. Please, Miss Brenda, can she obtain your studies from Kids Club or is she too old? We are very willing to pay for these important studies. We want our children to grow up to do good deeds that you speak of. We want them to know your Jesus. Even I as a father am learning very much from your program. I want my children to be good children.
Sincerely, Isam
Again, I am overwhelmed with how blessed I am and with the realization of how far-reaching this ministry is. God is using Kids Time to reach childrenand adultsall over the world, and I count it a great privilege to be used by God in such a special way. It is an awesome responsibility, and I dont take it lightly. I open the next letter, pausing to look at the return address. It is from Kisumu, Kenya. It reads:
