I was so excited to find an old friend I hadn't seen in years. More than I care to admit.  I was thrilled to receive her first note to me indicating her excitement that I had found her after all these years. I wrote back to her and of course I asked all the usual let's get to know each other questions and eagerly await her reply!

Is there anyone you can think of that you would like to reconnect with from your youth?  Take a trip down memory lane with old pictures or year books you may be surprised at things you had forgotten that come to mind. =)

People are of infinite worth...

I know I shouldn't take things so personal but, people should remember that each soul is of INFINITE worth regardless of where they live, what they drive, what they wear, how much money they make etc... Christ lived on the generosity of those around him. He said to give of your substance to those who are in need. He never said "only give if it doesn't depreciate your home value, or if it is convenient, or if you feel like it."

In the scriptures it says to "remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God" (D&C 18: 10)

Jacob told his people:
  20 And now, my brethren, I have spoken unto you concerning pride; and those of you which have afflicted your neighbor, and persecuted him because ye were proud in your hearts, of the things which God hath given you, what say ye of it?

  21 Do ye not suppose that such things are abominable unto him who created all flesh? And the one being is as precious in his sight as the other. And all flesh is of the dust; and for the selfsame end hath he created them, that they should keep his ^acommandments and glorify him forever. (Jacob 2 20-21)

And King Benjamin said,
17. And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn ^awisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the ^bservice of your ^cfellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.

  18. Behold, ye have called me your king; and if I, whom ye call your king, do labor to ^aserve you, then ought not ye to labor to serve one another? (Mosiah 2: 17-18)

I hope a material possession is never more important to you than another human being.
