Our Church members demonstrated the healing and pacifying power of love in their shipment of food and clothing to relieve the suffering of the German Saints just after World War II.
U.S. President Harry S. Truman was amazed when President George Albert Smith told him the supplies would not be sold.
"You don't mean you are going to give it to them?" he exclaimed.
President Smith replied simply, "They are our brothers and sisters and are in distress."
A few months later, Elder Ezra Taft Benson saw a German member in tears as he ran his fingers through a container of cracked wheat and whispered, "Brother Benson, it is hard for me to believe that people who have never seen us could do so much for us."

I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
