With all the news these past few days, it's got me thinking a lot about our country and the people in it.

Where have we gone wrong?! What is wrong with people these days?!? I don't understand how things have gotten so bad.

With everything going on, it honestly makes me fearful for my children. What kind of world are they going to grow up in? ..... and then I look at my sweet little girl's face and I see how much she loves and cares for others and it gives me hope for the future... hope that if something doesn't change soon, hopefully the children of this world will grow to make it a better place.

There are so many things that we can learn from children!..........
