Happy Birthday to President Russell M. Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 100 years ago today he was born!

Here is a video about him.

He has asked that each of us, if we want to celebrate his birthday, do so by ministering to one person. I love this idea! I have been pondering who this is for me.

As I ponder I am inspired by the following stories:

First, here is a beautiful story about someone who ministered to a sad person by giving a yellow rose away. You can read it here.

Here is a story about a young woman who was in prison and ministered to her prison inmates. She told one of them, “you are a daughter of God and He loves you!” See the story here.

Then this story is about a young woman who gave up ten dollars to pay someone’s bill at the grocery store.

Also, did you know that Elder David A. Bednar, an apostle of Jesus Christ, wrote the lyrics to a beautiful song called “One By One.” Paul Cardall wrote the music. It’s below. The sheet music is linked into my ebook above and you can find it here.
