Let me tell you something, in case you hadn’t considered it before: your life makes an eternal difference. I bet you remember encounters with people over the years—good encounters (encouraging, helpful ones) and bad encounters (discouraging, hurtful ones). You still carry those feelings with you, don’t you? Those people, for “better” or for “worse,” impacted your life. What we say, what we do, what we don’t say/do….those choices impact others. I tell my Sunday school class it’s wise to do a self-check now and then. Am I living in a way that reflects my Savior and, by so doing, furthering the gospel of Christ? If not, what adjustments do I need to make?
