Abigail's birthday is in two days. She would have turned five.
That's hard to imagine, because she never made it past three years
old in my mind. Turning four and then wasting away to nothing
doesn't seem to qualify as being four, so it's strange to think
she'd be five. And of course she's not any of those ages now, so
that's just doubly weird for me. I'll write more about that subject
on her birthday, I think.
Aaron and I would like to invite you to celebrate Abigail and give her a present this year. We think the thing she would like best is for you to do good, be good, or serve someone...above and beyond what you are already doing.
Here are some suggestions:
donate blood
go to church!
research your family history
play with your kids for a solid hour!
pray for someone you don't like, or just
pray
write a letter-by hand- and mail it!
smile when you don't feel like it
refrain from TV and read something uplifting
drop off a flower or treat to someone
or anything you feel prompted to do that falls in the 'do good, be good' category. :)
It doesn't have to be on her birthday, June 12. Just anytime this month. We would love to read what you choose to do (and what you DO) in comments under this post, keeping in mind that NO gift is too small, no act of kindness ever wasted. There will be no comparing, just gratitude for your thinking of Abigail. And keeping your gift anonymous works just as wonderfully!
Thank you so much. We love you all!
Faith.

ReplyDeleteI worked for a couple hours on family history and found 3 names to send to the temple as my present to Abigail. :)
