The Coat: A Story of Charity

Did you know that this touching story of selflessness and love is true?
When Heber J. Grant was young, his parents were too poor to replace his old, thin jacket. Instead, his mother surprised him with a winter coat she had made by hand. Heber loved it.
One day, as he was playing in the snowy street, he noticed a small boy crouched in front of an exhaust grate, trying to get warm. Heber gave his new coat to the boy, who needed it more than he did.
This Christmas and always, take time to notice the people around you. What can you do to help them? Your service will warm your heart and theirs.
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matt. 25:40).

I'm a primary teacher, I once showed this video to a bunch of 6yr olds on my phone. While usually I can barely keep their attention for more than a few seconds, one boy in class suddenly started bawling during this video. I asked what was wrong and he said "I don't know! I don't know why I'm crying!" I had to explain to him that what he was feeling was the Spirit, the love of God.

[@bartschlief2574]

I am not mormon, but I love these Christmas videos! Its good feeling and inspiring. PS: I know this story of Saint Martin, a Catholic saint (who was knight on a horse) who gave the half of his big coat to a poor sick man, laying on the side of the road. And he brought him to a house and asked the owner to care for the man and St. Martin paid for it.

[@Efa_Birch]

So this guy- Saint Martin- was almost a real-life version of the Good Samaritan from Jesus' story? Literally came across an unwell dude on the road(sure, sick, not robbed and beaten within an inch of his life, but whatever, I did say "almost") and paid for his care? Awesome. Go Saint Martin. Dude obviously paid attention in class when they went over the parables.

[@tinastricler3255]
