When my Niece was three we used to go attend a church that had wishing well or fountain outside and she would love to toss coins into it, this is where the inspiration came from.
She tossed the coin into wishing well for all to see.
Three year old sticky hands carrying the faith of a child
And Innocent dreams.
She wore her Sunday best
A little ruffled dress
And a childish smile
As she laughed with glee
Watching the coins gleam
In the water.
She tossed the coin into the wishing well for all to see
And smiled at me as she said
I am sending my wishes to Heaven
For Jesus to see.
I smiled at her as she threw
More pennies in
Said she had a lot of dreams
To send.

Unexpected Changes
Jeremiah 29:11–14 NIV For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. [12] Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. [13] You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. [14] I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
