Friday Fuzzies......

A few years ago, the president of my church {I'm LDS or Mormon} President Thomas S Monson, requested for his birthday, that he would like everyone to do an act of kindness for someone.  Such a simple request!! People from all around the world wrote to him and sent him cards and he shared with us {through conference video and the Ensign magazine} a few stories that touched his heart.  There is one I remember......

President Monsoon unwrapped a gift from a group of Primary {sunday school for kids} children and found it to be a jar of colourful pompoms.  The pompoms filled the jar.  The card explained that all of the Primary children who had done an act of kindess for someone placed a pompom in the jar....these were warm fuzzies that they want to give to Pres. Monson.  Each pompom meant a child had done something kind and that was all he asked.  A jar of warm fuzzies!!!!  Giving a warm fuzzy feeling. How cute and how wonderful for the kids to see how their good deeds had created such a large amount of love and good feeling.

I decided I wanted some warm fuzzies in my house so I made a warm fuzzy canvas that hangs by our kitchen.  It's a constant reminder that we should do nice things for others without being asked to.  So I'm declaring that my Friday blog entries will be Friday Fuzzies...filled with happiness, thoughfulness and hopefully a message to uplift your spirit and make you smile {there will probably be the odd giggle in there too!}

My warm fuzzies....too cute :)

Here it is.....the first friday Fuzzy :)

“Almost every day

brings opportunities

to perform unselfish acts

for others.

Such acts are unlimited

and can be as simple as a kind word,

a helping hand,

or a gracious smile.”

–James E. Faust
