President Gordon B. Hinckley encouraged us to “speak of one another’s virtues more than we speak of one another’s faults” and to “more generously compliment virtue and effort.”

The adversary doesn’t want us to live in harmony with each other and wants us to dismiss the tender mercies of the Lord in our lives and the small gestures of love from a spouse who may not yet remember your shoe size or a friend who maybe is still trying to find a sitter so she can bring over the vacuum instead of calling to chat with you on the phone.

We are reminded by Elder Jeffrey R Holland that “imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with. That must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He deals with it. So should we. And when you see imperfection, remember that the limitation is not in the divinity of the work.”

Don’t allow the adversary to warp or taint the random acts of kindness from others and be grateful.

A bumper sticker’s quote repeated and made famous by Elder Dieter F Uchtdorf says “don’t judge me because I sin differently than you.”

I'll add another bumper sticker to our spiritual car that says “don’t judge me because I serve differently than you.”
