Remembering and Helping

As we remember all of the victims of 9/11 on this day, let us not forget those who are struggling to rebuild their lives after Hurricane Katrina.

I have seen such generous giving of friends and neighbors......

A friend of mine, despite her wariness of needles, gave blood.  And her wonderful children (Haley, Bry, and Jacob) used all of their allowance to buy a bike for a little girl who is living here after losing everything in New Orleans.

But......also beware that you don't get caught in the many so-called charities, who are using this time to make a profit.......donate through LDS Humanitarian Aid, the American Red Cross or other respected organizations in your communities.

And then take a moment to thank our Heavenly Father for the blessings that he has so richly bestowed upon each and every one of us!
