Helpful Hints

Yesterday, I took part in a small Easter egg hunt with some of my family. The role I played in this even was mostly giving the youngest clues to where she could find her eggs, but I could only help her find her eggs after I spotted them first.

Later that day, my brother-in-law and I went out to play some disc golf, and we almost lost one of the discs. We searched for it for about half an hour, thinking that it might have fallen into a stream and become wedged under some rocks. After some time, other disc golfers suggested that we look further downstream and, sure enough, we found the disc much farther downstream than we had expected.

In each case, those who helped others find what they were looking for were only able to do so because they had a better idea, or at least a better guess, of where to look.

Many people in the world are searching for the happiness and peace that comes from the gospel. Those of us who were lucky enough to have found or been raised in the gospel would be kind to let others know what we found and where we found it.

In Easter egg hunts, the challenge of searching is half the fun, but when it comes to the gospel, we shouldn't leave others to find it on their own. We should be more like the other disc golfers and give others guidance as soon as they're ready to receive it.

We're all trying to find happiness in life. If you've found some, it'd be good of you to tell others where.
