President Monson. “How many
times has your heart been touched as you have witnessed the need of another?
How often have you intended to be the one to help? And yet how often has
day-to-day living interfered and you’ve left it for others to help, feeling
that ‘oh, surely someone will take care of that need.’
“We become
so caught up in the busyness of our lives. Were we to step back, however, and
take a good look at what we’re doing, we may find that we have immersed
ourselves in the ‘thick of thin things.’ In other words, too often we spend
most of our time taking care of the things which do not really matter much at
all in the grand scheme of things, neglecting those more important causes” (“What
Have I Done for Someone Today?” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2009, 85).
