During the October 2008 General Conference President Uchtdorf told of a group of men who were asked to move a piano. They tried different methods, but nothing worked. Finally, one man suggested they all stand close together and simply lift where they stood. "It seemed too simple. Nevertheless, each lifted where he stood, and the piano rose from the ground and moved...as if on its own power. That was the answer to the challenge. They merely needed to stand close together and lift where they stood. Too often we notice the needs around us, hoping that someone from far away will magically appear to meet those needs. When we do this, we deprive our neighbor of the service we could render, and we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to serve."
President Monson (then an Apostle) said "Each of us has the charge to be ...a doer, ...a lifter". (Oct 1971 Conference)
Thanks to all of you DOERS, we are lifting where we stand and serving little children right here in our neighborhood at TLC. All this yarn has been donated so if you need more let me know or just come Wednesdays 1-3pm. We sure enjoy getting to know each other better as we chat and create. :)
