Show Page E2 - THE HERALD, Prove, UUh, Sunday. Apnj 15, 1990 IProvo City Library Prime time Take today i be happy Homme This Easter, would you please take time to either walk or drive slowly the streets of your town. Notice the flowers, the children at play, the warmth of the sun. Notice the trees, those that give leaves to furnish the shade in summer's hot treexe. Notice the stream nearby that brings the moisture for garden and eoul my friend took heart Sure, the problem was still there but now he had a way, a reason, to go on. The child seemed to let him see the light at the end of the tunnel In our Bibles we can read of another person that gave us so much good and true advice. For many years he taught the truth and for many years his enemies looked for and finally found a way to have him put to death. Three days after his death he arose from the grave. Yes, Jesus the Christ, he won over death that all mankind may do the same, thereby keeping his promise. This then is the reason for Easter, a festival celebrating the resurrection. There is no duty we underrate as the duty of being happy. My friend has now overcome most of his problems. He is now busy being happy. He discovered success in getting what you want, but happiness is wanting what you get. All this through the innocent advice of a small child. As we chatted one day a few years back, my friend recounted in Graham -- ?'F UNJUST y 'TALKING iU alike. This Easter, reach out and shake the hand of a friend and welcome lain. Ojien your arms to a person that needs your help and to the one that needs a very special hup. Oh, yes, don't forget to smile at your neighbors as they stroll by. Please welcome them all with a friendly smile and "Howdy do" on this Easter Day. You will really be surprised how many have waited long to say "Howdy" to you. They then will go on their way with a happy smile and a song in their hearts. Of course, it may not be the happy day for everyone. There are so many we should try to reach, even if it is out of our way. One such person from the seeks volunteers past I remember well. He seemed to carry a load so heavy it kept him from looking beyond today. One day, it happened. This person was telling a group of us about all he was burdened with, of how he could see no way out. His talk was of divorce, bankruptcy and possibly more. People, regardless of size, can be of the greatest of help at just the right time. The daughter of one of the listeners spoke out innocently. "If you will talk to Mr. Heavenly Father, tell him what you need and he will help you. I talked to him when my leg was hurt so bad and he helped me. Now it is all better." From the small child's advice For those who are feeling a little unappreciated or for those who want to serve the community, volunteering at the Provo City Library for the summer could be the perfect activity, according to coordinator Lynne La Bare. ty volunteers is the "Speed Reads" "The library needs volunteers in program which provides home devariety of positions and departlivery of library materials to the homebound ments," commented LaBare.

With tears running down his cheeks he said, "She did me one of the greatest deeds possible in my darkest hours. I did not think to ask her name. I was so wrapped up in my own troubles I let her go without even giving her a thank you." I do not know the name either for the listener and daughter were just people who happened to be there. If we can remember, Easter is the time to think of the resurrection of our Lord, our Savior. This reminds me of a Chinese proverb: Many people come to praise the cherry tree w hen it is in blossom. But they are truly kind that visit them after the blossoms have fallen. Our Savior died for us. He was resurrected for us. Let us not forget to visit him often in our prayers. In return, "Mr. Heavenly Father will give you happiness."
