Great speech, from a great man! Ezra Taft Benson was in Europe guiding the Church's relief efforts after the devastation of World War Two. His son Reed was a scrawny student at school in Washington D.C. that a school bully liked to pick on. The coach decided to have the bully and Reed fight in a boxing match in the school gym. It was as unbalanced as David and Goliath. Reed was terrified and didn't want to go to school that day. His mother sent him, and said she would pray for him. It was a miracle, and somehow Reed won the fight! The faith of his mother, the service of his father, and the mercy and blessing of a loving God gave him the strength and power that he needed, when it was needed!
“It makes a difference when those unseen eyes are watching you” as we give God our best we are also honoring those who paved the way before us and giving gratitude for them. ❤
