The Aggregation of Everyday Acts

For family scripture study tonight, we listened to talk about Oliver Granger, and other saints like him, who are perfectly ordinary, and who yet do a remarkable amount of good. This good isn't accomplished through great acts or even through miracles, but through the aggregation of everyday acts. Every little bit of good we do builds on all the other good ever done, and like grains of sand that together form a large dune, all our small acts and efforts add up to something great. None of our contributions are too small to contribute. Every little bit of good adds to the greater good, no matter how small it is.

Perhaps Oliver Granger never did anything remarkable himself, and maybe we won't, either. But together, we can do a remarkable amount of good.
