The water purifier technician was running late for his scheduled appointment, so I gave him a call. He apologized, explaining that he had left his phone behind while quickly eating some noodles at a convenience store. Hearing his apology, I felt a bit sorry for him, imagining how rushed and pressured he must have been while eating his simple meal.
When he arrived at my house, I asked, “Since noodles tend to leave you feeling hungry again soon, would you like a hot dog?” Hearing this, he smiled brightly and gratefully accepted. I also offered him a cup of coffee and encouraged him to eat before it got cold. The technician, perhaps lifted by the kindness, shared some amusing family stories as he worked and even provided a few extra services.
The small kindness I offered did not end there—it returned to me as a warm and lasting impression. What made me happiest of all was realizing that I had practiced the teaching I had learned in Zion: “We must do good.” And the reward was much greater than I expected.
It made me wonder: How great will the reward in heaven be? My heart overflowed with eagerness to practice God’s teachings even more diligently.
