What Did You Do For Someone Today? (Be Kind in 2009)

Today we heard this inspiring talk by Thomas S. Monson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Last year he inspired us as a family to try to be kinder by finding "joy in the journey", so we decided to "be kind in 2009".  (2009 theme) Back then he said,

"Stresses in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important—and what is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know. Wrote William Shakespeare, “They do not love that do not show their love.”3 We will never regret the kind words spoken or the affection shown. Rather, our regrets will come if such things are omitted from our relationships with those who mean the most to us."Finding Joy in the Journey

Today, President Monson, once again emphasized the importance of loving, helping and serving others in a world that is plagued with anger, hate, and violence. We want to share his words with you. If you have 16 minutes, push play and listen to his counsel. It will inspire you to do some good.
