Simple, Daily Acts

"Simple, daily acts of service may not seem like much in and of themselves, but when considered collectively they become just like the one-twelfth teaspoon of honey contributed by a single bee to the hive. There is power in our love for God and for His children, and when that love is tangibly manifest in millions of acts of Christian kindness, it will sweeten and nourish the world with the life-sustaining nectar of faith, hope and charity." 
~Russell M Ballard, "Be Anxiously Engaged", Ensign, Nov 2012


 We CAN met today at Paula's home.  We collected several things:
