Spencer W. Kimball said “God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs.” I believe that. I believe that we can be God’s hands in the lives of others. If we’ll listen, he’ll direct us how. Sometimes I feel like the world’s problems are too big for me. I wonder if I can really do anything. I think something we can all do is make sure that every person who encounters us walks away feeling lifted. We can make sure every person we meet feels a little of God’s love.
This is a little story I wrote in college about someone being God’s hands.
