What have you sacrificed?

so...

like two months ago I decided to send out a random text message to everyone in my phone asking one question- "What is the biggest thing you have sacrificed in order to help someone else?"

these are the answers I got-

1- "gettin caught by the cops." --past curfew, I promise I am not friends with criminals...lol... he walked a friend home cause she felt unsafe and was caught after curfew hours... those suck for teens!

2- "I don;t know if this counts but one year around Christmas my ward went up to flag or Payson and cut down a bunch of Christmas trees for needy families."

3- "I have no clue obviously not that much if I can't remember"

4- "I don't know. Why?"

5- "my home" I was confused so I said what and he replied "for my mom" moving cross states sucks!

6- "Uh? I have given up my social life to try and help someone by just being with them... but in the end they died. but I think it helped them while they were alive"

7- "Prolly give up my whole summer just 2 help my mom and our respitecare provider dat just got over cancer with the kids"

well I got 7 answers... and some I was just like wow I could kiss them right on the cheek but others were sad... I did explain the ones I would know cause I am friends with them and you wouldn't as a reader cause well you have no idea who they are...

I want to say I appreciate any sacrifice given for the world or for someone else. And we don't have to sacrifice huge things to be good people... I mean I know that number 4 is a fantastic wonderful friend... and all around is an amazing person who has never in my life I have seen been mean to anyone. So I wasn't showing who is better here... I was giving examples as more of a... way to prob your mind. Think about what you have given up in your life to help someone else... no matter how little or big be proud that you care enough to give. And try to do more if possible...

Thank you to the friends that did reply I loved hearing it all... =)
