President Monson's Birthday

I read this idea today and wanted to share - it's a wonderful way to celebrate the prophet's birthday. Which is Friday, August 21st. I challenged our young women to do this and plan to do something with my own girls. President Monson's entire life is such a sweet example of Christ-like service to those he came into contact with. Read below his one request he would like for his birthday. Whether your a member or not, it's a great way to make the world a little better!

During an interview for an article on his birthday last year, the Church News asked President Thomas S. Monson to describe what he would consider the ideal gift that members worldwide could give him. Without a moment's hesitation he said, "Do something for someone else on that day to make his or her life better. Find someone who is having a hard time or is ill or lonely, and do something for them. That's all I would ask."
What a perfect gift idea.
