God grants each of us a life, to do with it as we please, "RIGHT OR WRONG?" It's not promised how long we will be here, but for the time that we are, let's love each other. Let's show up for each other. Let's pull together to make it happen, no matter what it is. Let's not play games, because "TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS." Let us see the good in others, as they see in us.
