  • I remember being overcome with emotion the first time I heard this story from President Hinckley. It happened again when I saw this video for the first time. It has been a couple of years since that first viewing, and those strong feelings have returned watching it this second time. What a great video and a great message. The gifts of charity, service, and love are priceless and eternal.

  • Mann just touched my heart. That just makes me want to Choose The Right where ever I go.

  • I love President Hinkley.

    

  • Wow president hinkley was great

  • This is one of the greatest videos on youtube

  • Awesome.

  • @umsami Don't put your faith in the understanding of men. Read the Book of Mormon, and then pray about it. No longer will you be worried about something that might not be able to be explained by men, but will have a sure knowledge of the truth from our Heavenly Father.

  • Awesome story. I'm not Mormon, but plan to share this with my kids in the morning. Of all the Christians I know, the Mormons seem to live their faith the best. Unfortunately, I can't get past the disconnect of the BOM w/ archaeological evidence.

  • @umsami Have you read the Book of Mormon? I think you might find a little enlightenment on the subject if you were to read it and ponder on it. And after all, aren't all Christian denominations based on Faith?

  • LOVE. :)

  • My late husband and I met years ago at quiet ward in AZ. Never did we question why we praise and foster Heavenly Father through the message Joseph Smith left. We make study of faith with special attention to LANGUAGE. The prophet J. Smith instructed LDS to focus on language because only then would we recognize Heavenly Father when he appeared. Heavenly Father is with us today. His delivery can be found in LA PAROLA IN CUATRO. Only the Creator can explain His vision as His own. @La Parola

  • Beautiful message!

  • Amazing video!

  • if everyone watched this video once a day the world would be a better place.

  • All of humanity is connected. There is not a situation that someone is in that you, a loved one, or a friend couldn't be in.

  • I cry every time i watch this!

  • I miss President Hinckley!

  • I don't understand dislikes...I never know what people don't like about the videos. Are they disliking the message? The messenger? The LDS church?

  • I wish those who denounce this wonderful "Christian" religion could see this and be touched by it the way I have. I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I love president Hinckley and miss him dearly. I love what LDS people stand for. This is the only true church on the face of the whole earth. If only pastor Jeffriss could see this maybe he could feel what Latter Day Saints feel. What a beautiful true religion.

  • @naeglrt What a beautiful! Yes!

  • I miss the sound of President Hinckley's voice. 

    And watching this has made my testimony grow even larger.

  • I wonder why America doesnt look like that anymore; that type of scenery and peace. The days when a dollar actually meant something.

  • The funny thing is that this "good feeling" they get from doing a good deed at the end has nothing to do with a god or mormonism or religion. This is why I can have a great life as a non-theist. The poor man should have thanked the boys, not an invisible being in the sky.

  • I'm absolutely puzzled as to why anyone would dislike such a beautiful message

  • i love this story. it makes me happy :) i just posted it on my facebook page

  • Uno aprende mucho en ese mensaje del Presidente Hinckley. Este mensaje es Maravilloso.

  • I have to stopped watching this Video... Im always crying you know why? Because I remember the Old Woman whom I helped last last year ago She's carring alot of things , then After a Day She Died and I dont know why... but the last thing she said to me is : I wished you were my Granddaughter you dont know how Happy I am ,This is what I am waiting for and then she kissed me in my ForeHead ... and I never saw her again and people told me she died last night. but i know she is in peace right now :)

  • People have the potential of being cruel but kind as well. What a great video!

  • Thanks to all those who have left "silver dollars" in my family's "boots". You will never know how much you have helped us. You are anonymous to me, but not to the Lord.

  • This tore me up inside, this is what I would love to see the entire world do!

  • This never fails to touch my heart.

  • Even if you aren't a Mormon, this video still shares a great message.

  • this video make me cry and im cold blooded :(

  • @tony1323stone You must not be,it's what you would have done.keep the faith..

  • I absolutly love this video, it makes me feel the spirit each time I watch it.

  • no matter how many times i here this story, I am touched in a new way.

  • Growing up as a youth, Gordon B. Hinckley was the kind, gentle voice i listened to and watched with awe. After watching this I shed some tears because I miss this kind and wise man. The warm feeling that overwhelms my soul is undeniable. I am filled with peace. Even though I wish President Hinckley was still here, I know that I will see him again some day.

  • I hope I can teach my boys to love like that!

  • God Bless You Pres. Hinckley! i cannot wait until the day i can meet you in heaven!

  • @blackdiamondsrmybff ¡Qué pensamiento tan maravilloso!

    

  • I have seen this many times, but everytime my heart is full. President Gordon B. Hinckley is a prophet, even though he has passed on

  • Thank you for this video. very touching message! I am not mormon but it is a good message in general to be kind unto others

  • It's the spirit!!! I love this video!! And I love President Hinkley!!

  • @backcountryjame, that is the spirit!! And this video is amazing! I love president Hinkley!!!

  • Why do i get this amazing feeling of warmth when i watch this? I have never felt something like this before...

  • @backcountryjame I believe it is because you know that truth is being spoken to your heart... what you are feeling is a confirmation of truth by the Holy Ghost, or the Spirit of God.

  • @backcountryjame It is the power of the Holy Ghost. Visit mormon.org to learn how you can have it as your constant companion.

  • @gicker1977 lds.org that's the correct one

  • @backcountryjame Join us, you will feel much more of it.

  • como haGO PARA PODER VER LOS VIDEOS EN ESPAÑOL

  • @VaferFerrand visita una de nuastrs iglesias ho habla con los misioneros camisa blanca y en

    bisicleta gracias por leer esta nota.

  • I love this story so much. I think it's just amazing.

  • It takes a village! I am so grateful that we have living prophets walking in our village today!

  • It is an amazing thing that everyone can be connected together, that we can all share our ideas through the internet and talk to others about the amazing and simple truth of the gospe. Rethink what you do in everyday life and try to show a kindness or service to someone in need.

  • I liked this video it has taught me a lesson to show service and to thank the lord.I also liked how the boy that was older set an example.

  • Incredible! 

  • I miss Gordon B. Hinckley, and am so grateful to be blessed with a true prophet like Thomas S. Monson

  • fantastic

  • The thing about this is that it is by no means only about religion... Athiest, Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, Mormon, Baptist or anything, the message applies to all -- we are all here together, so we might as well try and take the best of care for one another... Thats it. Everyone has been dealt a hand that has its ups and its downs, with the world as it is, so filled with war, anger and confusion, we should all try just a little more to look for those that need a few "silver dollars in their shoes"

  • ...and He WILL help. He uses others to help us in our lives by giving them a feeling to help or to just say hello. One simple action makes all the difference in the world. (refer to video above)

  • Sadly there are humans that carry hard hearts and make hateful comments concerning this story told by a great Prophet who is not with us any longer. We all have free agency allowing us each to live one way or another. I once was hard hearted and delt with others in a harsh way. I was fortunate enough to live long enough to find the real way. That way is by living a life as close as I can that follows what Christ taught. Free agency is given to each of us. It is up to each of us to decide.

  • How can u hate this video when it has nothing to really do with the mormon church

  • Actually it has EVERYTHING to do with the Mormon church. The church teaches lessons like these, like that you're not alone, and that someone really loves you, no matter who you are, what you do, what you beleive, or where you come from. Someone really cares, though it may not seem like it. He is always watching you, and he wants you to come home. (oh great, my keyboard is going to get wet) He is always watching out for you, and He knows what you need, he is just waiting for you to ask....

  • Open your hearts people JESUS LIVES!!! He loves us and he will watch over you! His spirit lives in this beautiful story! I am not a perfect man but I know I can be perfected through my best friend Christ! Follow your heart and hear his spirit within you! Come follow me! I KNOW THAT JESUS LIVES!!!

  • this almost made me cry, and I think it's exactly what all lds person should do with the gospel instead of a couple of silver dollars.

    I am sure that the same feelings the young boys experienced is what we all feel everytime we think of doing good to others.

  • Seriously, what kind of person is so emotionally dead, so morally scarred they could vote down this video?

  • Best Video On Youtube

  • I was about to say that too. I am an atheist and this story just make me feel so sad but at the same time happy..

  • @ptrstepniak2 I hope you find God..

  • @bonnieridd Why should he find god? Can't this story move him without someone needing to bring GOD into it?

  • I always believe and know there is pure love and gratitude in the world, even there are lies, betrayal and hate all around us.

  • made me cry.

  • Jesus Christ Today i saw this video.....and everytime i see it makes me cry...I'm going to change and be a good person :D

  • God usually answer our prayers through other people. and sometimes we dont even notice

  • Just think of how the world would be if everyone had this kind of charity

  • i´m mormon, since i have 8 years old (sorry my english, i´m chilean), i grow up when our prophet gordon was alive... i miss him... this lesson touch my hard

  • i was inspired of this!! i love it!!!!!!! i am an lds too i love the prophet ..,,.

  • i was inspired of this!! i love it!!!!!!!

  • This video put me to tears first time watching, same thing happen when I watch ALOT of other mormon messages.

  • who in the right mind can dislike a video like this?

  • Great messages, like this one, can be watched again and again...just don't forget a box of Kleenex!

  • was having lots of adversity, satan was trying to take away my testimony of God and his true church when I wachted this video I began to feel the spirit again after many weeks without it, the words that came to my mind were: God does exists, and this is his church. I couldn't stop tears coming down on my cheeks, I loved my mission, and this video remembered me so many great and spiritual experiencies. Love u President, If only you would know how deep are ur thoughts in my life.

  • @MultiFagman We really don't bite-promise. ;) thanks for being so positive!

  • @MultiFagman :) good job, im very happy for your

  • @MultiFagman Ye...I know ....Doing good things always makes you feel happier....even more when You help people .....You feel good with yourself....

  • @MultiFagman All you need to do is ask God for the answer to know the truth :) I did and everything fitted into place in my life.

  • @MultiFagman I love this church with all of my heart, and I KNOW for myself that it is the true church of Heavenly Father, Our God. I can not just tell you that this church is the true one though. You will need to learn it for yourself. I hope with all of my heart that you do research and learn whether it is true or not. :) Just look into it diligently, please. :) Good luck my friend! ^^

  • @MultiFagman I'm christian I hope you live a good life no matter if your athiest, agnostic, or any religion. good luck

  • @MultiFagman God Bless you my friend! There is a greater power than us!

  • @MultiFagman listen to your heart..no one can you choose for you..no one will force you to do something....you find it out for yourselves whether they are true...but this I know..that all of these messages are true...they are from a living prophet...I hope that you will choose what is right....God bless

  • @MultiFagman  Thankyou, gracias!

  • @MultiFagman I am grateful for people like you that aren't members of the church to respect us for who we are. Even though you are not a member, we consider every person our brother and sister. Thank you so much for not putting negative comments on such videos here, it is very much appreciated!

    God bless you!

  • @MultiFagman I'm not a mormon personally but they are generally good people and there messages/video are very good and after looking past the lies and B.S. surrounding the LDS church and learning for one's self I'm sure anyone would like the church and generally it's members even if they disagreed with their beliefs...

    People are people and theres good and bad along with crazy and sane everywhere but good people are good people and good messages are good messages so why spead hatred towards it

  • love and miss President Gordon B. Hinckley, was like a father to me, such a great leader and light in the world. Heaven is a better place with him there!

  • when ever I watch this talke by GBH it brings me to tears when ever Im down I love listening to these messages god bless..

  • I love this message! It definitely touched my heart and is one of my favorite stories. Often God touches lives through other people and I hope I will always be the one who gives a silver dollar rather than play tricks.

  • This is so awesome I love Gordon B. Hinkley's life stories. All of them. I hope I get to know President Monson better and I'll hear some of his life experiences and stories.

  • I'm not Mormon, but I do consider myself a Christian. This brought tears to my eyes.

  • This one is my favorite;

    It made me cry the first time I saw it. So Powerful/moving.

  • I always feel the Spirit of the Lord in great abundance each time I watch this video. What a great story. I miss Pres. Hinckley and his humble testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • Ok, I love this story, I love the video, love Hinckley. Very inspirational. But I do have one question, Who works in a field without their shoes on?

  • @wtube5 those boots were his good ones. He put on his old ones to work in the field..he was really poor lol keep the faith lov your humor

  • Ok, I love this story, I love the video, love Hinckley.

    But one question, Who works in a field without their shoes on?

  • @wtube5 the man had water proof boots on to keep his feet dry. if you look closely you will see them. I do the same thing.

  • This touches my heart and brings a tear to my eye and missawesomeswan78 your right president Hinckley was a good man one I will love forever

  • Such a cute story, I love the churches videos.

  • jovanleyva, If you want to know why we believe our church teaches the truth, try mormon.org

  • Sin duda un mensaje maravilloso, seria de mucha ayuda si estuviera en español como muchos otros mensajes, en especial para compartirlo con personas que no conocen bien el idioma, y que les cuesta leer los subtitulos.

    Gracias

  • Estimados Hermanos: por favor, traducir este mensaje, es muy especial como todos, sin embargo para los hermanos que no saben ingles, seria de gran valor que este traducido en español, gracias por los mensajes, adicionalmente que habiliten un link en español.

  • I may not be Mormon but this story warmed my heart so much. I believe that this is what all those who labour in the name of the Lord should do for one another. This is what love and compassion is.

  • This touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I am inspired to serve more. Thank you President Hinckley! I miss you!

  • The warm feeling I get by watching this incredible video, lets me miss home. And by home I mean our heavenly home.

    Our beloved Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley just knew how to touch our hearts and let us feel connected with God, our eternal Father, so that we want to be with Him again.

    Thanks for having this blessing here online...

  • I LOVE IT!

  • Fantastic Video, made me shed a tear of sadness and after that tears of joy...

  • Thank you

  • Thank you for posting this. It made my night.

  • i am a mormon too very good ver tuching

  • Very touching story!

  • wow this is a great message i almost started cry by the end of the video b/c President hinckley was a great man with great ideas...and this video proves that....i wish we could all be as the older boy in president hinckley's story video...if you agree that we should all be this way please thumbs up or reply with acomment....

  • @SnowNinja62 I agree...the World would truly be a better place if more people helped those in need as the older boy helped the poor man in his time of need. I myself wish I could help others, but unfortunately it seems I keep getting myself in the situation of needing help. Anyhow, this is truly a touching, inspiring message that we should all live by. President Hinckley always had such wonderful, inspired teachings & I sure do miss him., tho Pres Monson is another great Prophet inspired by God!

  • Giving voluntarily of our own free will is the greatest joy.

  • A touching story that just makes me want to try harder ...

  • With tears in my eyes I have to say I miss president Hinckley..his voice, his kindness, his love.

  • There is stil hope in this world when good deeds are done to complete strangers. Thank you for this video it made me cry and touched my heart.

  • I wonder how many would do the same act of kindness?

  • @Grishaminite I try harder day by day following My Perfect Master example, and have done it, receiving instead a great joy within.

  • There is only one way to forgive, and thats from the heart :)

  • great message.

  • That warm feeling you get is the Spirit testifying to you of the truth to the story as well as the goodness of it. We need to go back in time, or bring the values of the past to ours. (thankfulness is needed more)(count your blessings... and it will surprise you what the Lord has done) 

  • awesome!

  • Hit the reset button on your day.  Check out this story.

  • Good deeds never go un-rewarded.  What a great message that was shared by our beloved President Hinckley.

  • I love President Hinkley. I miss him so much. Everyone has their prophet they grew up with, and i am lucky to have had the combination of two AMAZING prophets, Hinkley and Monson. I love you pres. Hinkley, you have and will be missed.

  • C'est un exemple à suivre...

  • I just love Gordon B. Hinckley! =)

  • As general conference is coming up I couldn't wait to hear the prophets of God speak to us, so I searched for Gordon B. Hinckley here on You Tube. I've heard this story a few years ago and can't help but love this story. I like how the boy's first intension was replaced with an even better one. Who knew that the farmer working in his field needed such help. This powerful story motivates me to try harder and maybe help a friend who is in such need. "Don't you have a good feeling?"

  • @DylnWstwd Question for mormon readers: Why is mormonism the true religion? I id like to know why according to you, mormon friends

  • i am really moved by the story!!

  • Por favor doblen este video al Español. Muchas Gracias!!

  • I am a member of the church but I havn't gobne for years as i no longer believe in God. But I alway will remember Gordon B. Hinckley as a great man. His stories and parables are an inspiration to all whether you believe or not.

  • @jerseyrover

    Dear jersey, I think the first thing Gordan B Hinckley would ask and so I ask....how did you lose your faith in God my friend?

  • @jerseyrover Friend, the world has a way of eroding faith and love. I've been where you are now and would encourage you to seek further. The evidence is there...don't give up.

  • @jerseyrover Yes. president Hinckley has shared wonderful messages for years which can teach all people. Some of the part of his great spirit is from his testimony of God and Christ. I hope this part of his life and words touch you also.

  • this reminds me to be grateful... the boys would not have learned such a profound lesson had the man not been grateful.

  • I was touch, its been a wonderful story. I'm proud being a member of this true church.

  • I would have given anything to have witnessed this talk live:-)

  • Every time I see our sweet, departed Brother Hinckley, I miss him with such a profound sorrow. How glad he must be to be rejoined with his sweetheart on the other side after crying himself to sleep for years after her departure. President Hinkley, you were a wonderful father to all of us while you were here and we will never forget you or the greatness of your works. And give your beloved wife our love.

  • i love gordon b hinckley :)

  • I love President Hinckley.

  • I love this video.I felted the spirit and am very humbled to have the gospel in my life.And My heart is filled with graditude for you taking time and posting this video.Thank you :)

  • i cried when i saw this video it really touched my heart and i felt warm inside my heart knowing that the Holy Spirit is with me..i will be more helpful now to the needy people.

  • I thank Heavenly Father for sending prophets and apostles to bring His word.

  • So important to read to our children...lets not get caught up in too much internet or TV

  • What a lovely story. Thanks President, we miss you.
