Yesterday we were driving from South Jordan, Ut, to Las Vegas, Nv. We could see in the distance what looked like smoke from a fire but when we got closer, we saw it was a dust storm. What was so amazing is that it all started from a small field and was only about 3 feet tall initialy. As it blew toward the north, it gained in strength and size until it was about 100 feet tall and was so thick, you couldn't see through it. As I watched it, I couldn't help but compare it to so many instances in life. A fashion fad starts and soon is all the rage. Low moral standards are portrayed as acceptable by a few, and soon they are accepted by many. Gossip starts with two people and spreads to many with people hurt along the way.
In contrast, good also spreads. A kind word to someone in need makes then more apt to share a kind word with someone else. Service to one can result in service to many. Love expands and brightens life. What will we "start" today. ". . .by small means the Lord can bring about great things." l Nephi 16:29
