Friday's thoughts

"Don't Laugh at Me"

"Don't Laugh at Me" is a song sung by the Acoustic Eidolon and I have asked Richard Brack if he would sing it in the worship service Sunday.

It is a powerful song with poignant words. Here is some of what it says:

Don't laugh at me
Don't take pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same

I'm the little boy with glasses
I'm the little girl with braces on my teeth
I'm the beggar on the street and don't think I don't notice that our eyes will never meet
I'm fat
I'm thin
I'm tall
I'm deaf
I'm blind
Hey, aren't we all

Don't laugh at me and don't take pleasure from my pain. In God's eyes we're all the same and in the end we'll have perfect wings."

What do you do when someone is laughing at you? You can take the name calling and use it to make a name for yourself and you can change the object of the preposition from at to with. We can work with people until they are laughing with you and not at you.

What else do you do when "they" are laughing at you?
