“I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change”
“Man in the Mirror” (1988)
Kids are keen observers of the world around them. This month we asked, “What changes would you like to see in the world in 2016? And how do you think you could help make it happen?”

It is hard to pick just one. They are all precious. I love the innocence in Josehine’s comment, listening to Mommy and Daddy. 🙂
I know, they are all so precious. I think I like Fara B’s idea to pray that God tells people to be nicer to each other.
I agree that they all are very precious. Joel from Yucaipa made me smile! I love the idea of making the world a better place by helping the homeless and adopting a pet. 🙂
