You know, I have to confess that sometimes I just wish I could be a little better person – a little more kind, a little more caring, a little more sensitive to those in need, and I don’t think I’m alone in that. I just wish at times I could be a little more like the Savior, especially when I hear stories like this.

Years ago there was a little eight-year-old girl who had been abandoned by her parents, and left to the care of an orphanage. She was a homely little thing, with annoying mannerisms, disliked by all, even the teachers and administrators of the orphanage.

One day she broke a rule that would justify expulsion from the institution. In disobedience to the rules, she had been caught climbing a tree and depositing something in a branch overreaching the boundary fence.

As the powers that be contemplated her punishment, someone thought to retrieve from the tree what she had placed there. It turned out to be a note. What did it say?

It said, “To whoever finds this: I love you.”

God grant that we may be a window to the love of God in a world without a view.
