I love the story of Momotaro because it illustrates the importance of being kind and having courage. Because Momotaro served others, he then had the tools he needed to accomplish much good. When we serve others, God grants us the strength to accomplish extraordinary tasks, but when we keep to ourselves and do not impart of our abundance, our capabilities to accomplish great things is diminished.
