Ripples

 Sometimes Satan seriously wants us to think that our contributions are insignificant or won't matter. That others are doing the big acts of goodness and service and that ours pale in comparison.  

Sometimes it might feel like you don't have much of an influence or really matter, but nothing could be further from the truth.  Never underestimate the power of your ripples of goodness.

Never doubt the ripple of words of faith, planted as seeds in a heart to later bloom at a needed moment.

Never doubt the ripple of the loving touch as you rock a baby and teach him that there are places of safety and trust.

Never doubt the ripple of standing next to someone who was feeling alone.

Never doubt the ripple of forgiving someone and letting them try again.

Never doubt the ripple of your creativity and talent making life a bit more comfortable and beautiful for those you love.

Never doubt the ripple of your testimony, one tiny splash at a time touching the lives of others.

As Virginia U Jensen reminded, "Given our eternal heritage, we must remember how powerfully, our simple righteous actions can ripple through the hearts and homes of those around us."
