    In the story of the Good Samaritan you will see vital qualities that are necessary in carrying our faith into the street.

    Let's Turn The World Over To Mothers

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 15, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,123 views

    Dated 1988. Part dialogue, part conversation, between the preacher and his wife. Pain is caused by absenting ourselves from those against whom we have a grievance. Mothers understand compassion and challenge the rest of us to reconcile.

Several years ago my mother was sitting in her living room reading the newspaper with ...read more
