Memory Monday #2

I had an opportunity this week to give some things to a friend who needed them much more than I. It made me think of Grandma. She is a giver. She gave a lot of things to a lot of people. I want to tell you about one particular instance.

I have a friend who moved away with her little family to a different state. We were really close friends, so Grandma knew her well, too. One day, Grandma felt like she should put some money in an envelope and send it to my friend. (Grandma did that a lot...she liked to put money in envelopes and send them to people...Jeron and Dylan and Jadee will hopefully always remember cards with money in them from Grandma Rita.) Grandma didn't know that my friend really needed that money to be able to buy food for her kids, but Grandma did know how to listen to the Holy Ghost and follow His promptings. So, she found a little card and put a little money in it and sent it to my friend. It was the answer to her prayers.

Most of the time we never get to know the results of our service to others, but this time, Grandma got to know. My friend sent her a beautiful card telling of her situation and her prayers and how Grandma had answered them. Someday, when I find that card, I will share it with you. Until then, if you are blessed to have, be givers. You never know how you might bless the lives of those around you through your "gifts".

"O then how ye ought to impart of the substance that ye have one to another." Mosiah 4:21
