Every action spurs reaction, like a pebble tossed into a pond.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate you, and ask that you pray for this effort to continue and expand. And, please continue spreading the word by emailing a link to this blog or posting it wherever you post, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace... wherever.<BR/><BR/>God bless.<BR/><BR/>JamesJames Hofheinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699806101272736521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427337927242004482.post-27179066555709144532008-09-18T17:07:00.000-06:002008-09-18T17:07:00.000-06:00This is a great post - it's something I strive to ...This is a great post - it's something I strive to do every day - whether it's being there for a student who is going through and needs an ear or stopping my entire world so that I can spend the entire day with a friend who needs comfort and love.Shonell Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827197354857197637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427337927242004482.post-9098118063286201642008-09-18T14:55:00.000-06:002008-09-18T14:55:00.000-06:00Thank you all for your kind comments.tanyaross tel...Thank you all for your kind comments.<BR/><BR/>tanyaross tells of a woman who remembered a hug 2 years later. I've had those experiences.<BR/><BR/>An LDS missionary doesn't remember how she encouraged me even now, years later. But I sure do. It wasn't so much what she said, but the fact that she took the time to say it and show me she cared.<BR/><BR/>I think we can all make an incredible impact in the lives of others, and we may never know of that impact until we're on the other side of the veil.<BR/><BR/>Keep on keepin on!<BR/><BR/>JamesJames Hofheinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699806101272736521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427337927242004482.post-30627256481177773572008-09-18T14:21:00.000-06:002008-09-18T14:21:00.000-06:00In serving others we truly come to know the Savior...In serving others we truly come to know the Savior. I love the invitation you have given us to just do something simple today to help another along the way.

If not, I have failed indeed."<BR/><BR/>one of the simplest things I've ever done was walked up to a woman I knew, not a close friend, and said, "you look like you need a hug today," gave her a big hug, and then went on my way -- TWO YEARS LATER that woman still gratefully spoke of that moment to my parents, who also knew her. we never know just how much a small act of kindness will mean to someone else.<BR/><BR/>kind rgds,<BR/>TanyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427337927242004482.post-69151761208418303822008-09-18T12:33:00.000-06:002008-09-18T12:33:00.000-06:00Delightful post.
