A BETTER WAY

The following story was related to me by a friend:

“During a hot day in California, protestors were parading in front of an LDS Temple. They were demonstrating against the Church’s stand on Proposition 8. Tempers were flaring on both sides and finally a few LDS patrons made it to the Temple doors and one said, ‘I think we need to go back out there and try the virtue of the laying on of hands!’ Two of the patrons, however, said nothing, but went into the cafeteria and borrowed some water, ice, water pitchers and disposable cups.

They walked back outside with the cold water and told the protestors that they must be thirsty and surely the water would be refreshing. The protestors were surprised and immediately began to act in a more respectful manner. The patrons who had been disturbed by the protestors were quietly humbled, for they had learned a better way.”
