As I say upon the ground in the Spori quad a little lad came upon me. He held in his little hand an offering of peace. A little red leaf alive with the sun, vibrante with life. He came towards me with no strive or malice or envy.
His intention were pure as that of the blue sky above us. In that moment I realized something. This child possesses something pure, something devine. What else did he hold in his hand besides that little leaf? What he also held in his hand was charity. A gift from God and it walked down towards me.
It was a lesson. A lesson of charity. How to be a a real friend. To be childlike, to have the attributes that child does. And in that moment I wanted to be as that child. To be able to go to anyone and talk to them just because. And to reach out to all with God's love.
The challenge it to overcome the doubts Satan puts there. To negate the doubtful thoughts we've might have had or experience in such. Being a true friend with childlike characteristics is one of the greatest goals that we can attaint right now.
After all, its how the Savior told us to be.
