Happy Birthday, President Monson. May you not lead us astray anytime soon so that the Lord has to remove you the way he has had to do with some of your predecessors.

Do something for someone else on that day to make his or her life better. Find someone who is having a hard time, or is ill, or lonely, and do something for them. That's all I would ask."

I will.

Thanks for your wonderful stories and sense of humor. Happy Birthday!

May we as followers of Christ take your example into our lives and help to make this world a better place to live.
