I've been thinking a lot lately about why we're here on earth and even placed into the particular circumstances we're living in. I believe one of the most important reasons we're here is to help one another.
As I've been thinking back over my life, I realize there are many times I felt prompted to call or check on someone. Sometimes I followed through on those promptings, other times I have not. So I wonder if whether or not I followed through had an impact (good or bad) on someone else's life. I don't know, but I do know that one of the greatest things we can do on this earth is strengthen, uplift, and support one another. President Monson said this in the October general conference:
"My brothers and sisters, we are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness—be they family members, friends, acquaintances, or strangers. We are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us."
