“THESE ARE MY FAVORITE HUMANS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD”

This has been my little glimpse of Heaven. These folks have changed my life in immeasurable ways. I am infinitely more kind, compassionate, patient and attentive because of the example that has been set for me here at BEE. I just want to encourage you today that no certain major better equips you to be kind to someone. No specific past experiences make you better able to student your neighbor and find what makes them uniquely created in His image. So take time to study how someone prefers to communicate. Take time to study how you can maximize the joy of another. Take time to reflect on the humble joy that comes from a deep understanding that we are all learning, all growing, all human.”
