"Now the people of the Zoramites were angry with the people of Ammon who were in Jershon, and the chief ruler of the Zoramites, being a very wicked man, sent over unto the people of Ammon desiring them that they should cast out of their land all those who came over from them into their land.
And he breathed out many threatenings against them. And now the people of Ammon did not fear their words; therefore they did not cast them out, but they did receive all the poor of the Zoramites that came over unto them; and they did nourish them, and did clothe them, and did give unto them lands for their inheritance; and they did administer unto them according to their wants."
Alma 35:8-9
This is cool. Not many countries or groups will embrace refugees like this. Some may accept them, but not give them land and take care of them like this. So, this makes me think about what each of us individually can do to take care of each other. It seems like it takes a bigger commitment than just an "oh dear" or a dollar. :) ... and I'm not saying that I really have the answer, but perhaps we could be on the lookout for ways to offer some tangible help to our fellow beings today. :)
