In our day-to-day
actions, it is often the small and simple things that will have a
long-lasting impact (see Alma
37:6–7). What we say, how we act, and how we choose to react
will influence not only ourselves but also those around us. We can
build up, or we can tear down. A simple and positive example is a
story told about my grandmother. She sent one of her young children to
buy some eggs. The trusted child was probably joyfully walking home
along the road, but most of the eggs were broken when the child
arrived home. A friend of the family was there and admonished my
grandmother to scold the child for behaving so badly. Instead,
Grandmother calmly and wisely said, “No, that will not make the eggs
whole again. We will simply use what we can and make some pancakes
that we can enjoy together.” – Per G. Malm, “Rest
unto Your Souls,” Ensign (CR) November 2010
