One of our young members, Georgia, wrote this affirmation and hung it outside her room after a Sunday sermon where all were encouraged to BE KIND. Her mother shared this special image and how just when we think the children are not paying attention, this note shows they are listening! Georgia, age 6, reminds all of us with brightness and a smile to “BE KINED” (Kind).
