Bee Happy

How can we be happy when the world around us is in chaos?

People are divided, cruel, and argumentative.

What do we do when there's no civility, love and we fear for our safety?

We look to the bees...

Every bee has a role and knows their place.  One of the jobs is to guard the hive entrance and guide the field bees back home.  The bee will stay at the entrance and if a bee from another colony lands, they will allow her in if she has food, but will not allow her to pass if she does not.  The guard bee will also raise her rear end and fan the hive scent to the field bees to help guide them back home.

We should guard our hearts and minds like the bee guards her hive entrance.  What do we allow in? Do we invite discourse and chaos or do we block it?  Do we engage in civility or allow ourselves to lose our temper?

Allow us to follow the hive scent of our Lord.  He calls us back to the smell of his Sacred Heart.  There we rest in his peace and love.  The harmony of his hive is where we can truly BEE happy.
