Not insisting on our personal preferences also brings blessings in small matters. On the first day of district convention, a pioneer couple arrived early and secured the exact seats they desired. As the program began, a large family with several children hurried in a crowded coliseum for adequate seating, the pioneer couple gave up their two seat. This made it possible for the entire family to sit together . A few days after the convention, the pioneer received a thank you letter from the family. The letter explained how discouraged they were when they arrived at the convention late. That feeling soon changed to joy and gratitude because of the pioneer couple's kindness.
When we have the opportunity, let us willingly forgo our preference in half of others. By displaying love that" does not look for its own interest," we help to maintain peace within the congregation and with our neighbors. But the most important of all, we preserve our friendship to God.
