Actions speak louder than word.

Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:18)

A young woman...encounted another woman hobbling down a mountain trail. On one foot she wore an improvised shoe made of green twigs wrapped with a strip of cloth. "Lost one boot crossing a stream," she explained. "Hope I can get down the mountain before dark." The first hiker reached into her own pack and took out a sport sandal. "Wear this," she said. "You can mail it to me when you get home."...

A few days later the scandal arrived in the mail with a note saying: "I passed several people who noticed my predicament, but you're the only one who offered any help. It made all the difference."
