"'For I know the plans I have for you,' Declares the LORD, 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future.'" Jeremiah 29:11


Have you ever taken a moment,
To look through another's eyes,
Before you wrongly accuse,
And words begin to fly?

Have you ever taken a moment,
To look at life upside-down,
And still find your opinions,
To be completely sound?

Have you ever taken a moment,
To look in a different way,
At the same exact people,
That you see every day?

If we'd all just take a moment,
To see what others see,
Imagine how much kinder,
All of us would be.
