&ldquo;But it&#039;s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it&#039;ll shine the clearer.&quot; ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers<br /> <br /> &quot;For I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&quot; ~ Jeremiah 29:11<br /> <br /> &ldquo;Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.&rdquo; ~ Corrie Ten Boom


Her little heart
Is full of love,
Is full of joy,
Is full of hope.
Her little heart
Is full of faith,
Is full of honesty,
Is full of innocence.
I wish I had
A heart like hers -
So young and kind and sweet.
The simple faith she has
Is so perfectly complete.
Jesus loved the little kids.
He said “Let them come to me.”
I want a heart,
A heart like hers,
So Jesus will love me.
I want a heart,
A heart like hers,
The heart of a five-year-old girl.
Lord, I ask -
This is my plea -
For the heart of a little child.
