I remember this song as a kid in Sunday School. It goes, “be careful little eyes what you see , careful little ears what you hear” (partial). Point is, we can be doing the reverse, watching the news, hearing all the negative info, tragedies, scandals, etc. We must find a way to see the things commsneed in the verse above.
