Eyring, Honoring The Good Samaritan

 

Service involves helping those we come in contact with. It’s also realizing that sometimes, one person can’t do it alone. 

“Remember that when the Lord lets us encounter someone in distress, we honor the good Samaritan for what he did not do as much as for what he did. He did not pass by on the other side even though the beaten traveler on the road was a stranger and perhaps an enemy. He did what he could for the beaten man and then put in place a specific plan for others to do more. He did that because he understood that helping may require more than what one person can do.”
