The Family
We were a strange little band
of characters trudging through
life
sharing diseases and toothpaste,
coveting one another's desserts,
hiding shampoo, borrowing money,
locking each other out of our
rooms,
inflicting pain and kissing to
heal it
in the same instant, loving,
laughing,
defending, and trying to figure
out
the common thread
that bound us all together.

Man looks on the outward
appearance
but God sees the heart
Samuel 16:7
White Trash
Yes, that's what they called us
But that was so long ago
Children will be children, they
say
Some say, "What do they know?"
We were teased because of our
clothes
But mainly because we were so
poor
These were children being
children
They were just so immature
Now we teach our children
To accept the differences of
others
Do not look on the outside
God made us all sisters and
brothers
The heart is what God looks at
We were made in His perfect
image
Do unto others as you would have
them
do unto you
This is such a great old adage
Love all like the Almighty God
loves us
He loves us all the same
He is our Precious Heavenly
Father
To stray from Him would be a
shame
To God, there is no human trash
He does not choose between us
We are all His own precious
children
Read your Bible to find great
success
Lord, help us to be more like
You
So that we can do just as you
ask
You ask so little of us
This shouldn't be that hard a
task
Prayer
God grant us the wisdom to
think, speak
and act each day as You would
want us to.
May we never question your
wisdom and teachings.
Oh Lord, keep us from judging
others based
on their appearances. Help us to
see the
good in all your children, and
let us practice
the graces we'd like to see in
others.
