Jumper Cables of the Heart

"We, more than others, should carry jumper and tow cables not only in our cars, but also in our hearts, by which means we can send the needed boost or charge of encouragement or the added momentum to mortal neighbors." ~Neal A. Maxwell

How true this is! We do have an added responsibility, I think -- to help, lift, inspire and recharge not only ourselves but our family, friends and neighbors. I loved this image of the birds huddled so close together -- keeping warm, supporting, encouraging and uplifting each other.

Lovely thought for today.

I wish I had read that last week! I could have used in my talk about the Holy Ghost at my daughter's baptism! I talked about all the roles of the Holy Ghost: to comfort, to teach, to testify... but most importantly: to whisper to us opportunities to love and serve others when they are sad, sick, lonely, etc. I love it! Thanks, Jan!
