Kermit’s Cup of Tea: Friday Findings

img_4043Happy Friday, friends! I hope you had a beautiful and productive week. If you’ve been following the Kermit Says… Snapchat (@kermitsays), then you know exactly what’s been going on in my life.

Sometimes it’s even overwhelming, but it’s all good things, exciting things, life-changing things, and I can’t wait for this next chapter for it’s reminded me that when good things happen to you, it’s important to keep the ball rolling and pay it forward.

Be the good for someone else. 

Today I’m sharing a heartwarming story about a man who does more than pays it forward. In fact, I’d suffice it say he serves as an inspiration to us all by spreading love, care, and joy to those who need it most. Take a look:

Mohamed Bzeek, a 62-year-old Libyan-born, devout Muslim who currently lives in Los Angeles, California, has spent nearly two decades as a foster father to severely and terminally ill children.
