True Charity is Love In Action

"What is charity?...."the pure love of Christ" -- to be the opposite of criticism and judging.....charity that manifests itself when we are tolerant of others and lenient towards their actions, the kind of charity that forgives, the kind of charity that is patient....the kind of charity that impels us to be sympathetic, compassionate, and merciful, not only in times of sickness and affliction and distress but also in times of weakness or error on the part of others.  There is serious need for charity that gives attention to those who are unnoticed, hope to those who are discouraged, aid to those who are afflicted".

"True Charity is Love in Action"
                  (Thomas S. Monson, "Charity Never Faileth", Ensign , Nov. 2010, 122-23)

"Just for this week, I invite you to be aware of the available Kind Moments; smiling at someone who is rude, not telling a friend how another person was a pill, praying in the morning to know whom you can love.  Look in someone's eyes, see their story and share a kind word.  Look for the love, do the kind thing and bask in the joy."  (Life is Too Short for Sensible Shoes, Connie e. Sokol)
