The Buzzing Bee Once, we left the patio door open, a bee flew in. It hit the window repeatedly trying to get out. We could hear it buzzing from the top to the bottom of the window. It saw the beauty outside and worked very hard trying to get out, but we knew that its effort was futile! If it were a fly, we would have used the swatter and ended its misery. However, since it is a beneficial insect, we opened the door and chased it out. All of a sudden, four important lessons came to mind: 1. Hard work alone may not be able to solve our problem. 2. Often the solutions come from doing it another way-thinking outside the box. 3. Sometimes the Almighty sees us in our predicament and shows us a way out. 4. I believe that it is our mission in life also to show some struggling people the lessons we learned and the opportunities we saw and show them a way out. Two roads diverge in the woods, and I took the one less traveled, and that has made all the difference.-Robert Frost, 1920 Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.-Mother Teresa (19101997) Any fool can count the seeds in an apple, Only God can count the apples from one seed!-Dr. Robert H. Schuller
