When we treat people merely as they are, they will remain as they are. When we treat them as if they were what they should be, they will become what they should be.

May we show increased kindness toward one another, and may we ever be found doing the work of the Lord.

How much better the world would be if we all gave gifts of understanding, and compassion, of service, and friendship, of kindness and gentleness.

May we ever watch over one another, assisting in times of need. Let us not be critical and judgmental, but let us be tolerant, ever emulating the Savior's example of loving-kindness. In that vein, may we willingly serve one another. May we pray for the inspiration to know of the needs of those around us, and then may we go forward and provide assistance.
