The story was told of a teacher recounting the hardships of the Pilgrims during their first winter. In the midst of her description concerning the starving conditions, one of the first-graders raised her hand and said, \u201cI wish my mommy had been there. She always knows just what to do." This mother of a king knew what to do when it comes to doing what is best for the people of his kingdom. Now we are not kings, but as followers of Christ we are \u201ca royal priesthood\u201d and \u201ca holy nation\u201d that can influence others by our selfless and sacrificial living.
