They came one at a time to allow me to process the information and write it down. Isn't God amazing that way? Here's a short little blog post just to introduce them to you. x Brand...
Little children are inexperienced in communication, but as I will share over the next two weeks, we can all learn some valuable communication lessons from them. Lesson number one: Speak Plainly. Adults say, "The honour of your presence is requested at the...blah blah blah..."
