I'm a primary teacher, I once showed this video to a bunch of 6yr olds on my phone. While usually I can barely keep their attention for more than a few seconds, one boy in class suddenly started bawling during this video. I asked what was wrong and he said "I don't know! I don't know why I'm crying!" I had to explain to him that what he was feeling was the Spirit, the love of God.
This one always gets me. I had an experience on my LDS Mission that was much like this. I will never forget it for as long as I live. We were just about to end the day and we biked right by this kid with shorts and a small coat on. It was late November in Idaho, and it was cold! We biked right by him, waving to make sure he knew that we recognized his presence. About halfway down the street to get out of that trailer park, both my missionary companion and I got the feeling that we should go back and talk to this kid. We went back and talked with him about Christ, told him that there were prophets on the earth today and gave him a Book of Mormon. We said a prayer with him, gave him a hug, and he went back into the shadows. The next week he was at church, his mom had been touched and dropped him off there. The young man changed and found confidence and true friends. He was baptized about six months later and I got to be there for that. One of the most special experiences of reaching out to "the one" I've ever had in my life. I'm sure that young President Heber J. Grant was touched by this scene and if he ever needed some comfort, re-imagining and pondering on that wonderful moment from that one Christmas would give him some of the comfort he needed. "Slightest actions often meet the sorest needs" -Hymn #230: "Scatter Sunshine" Verse 2)
I picture the Mother as being Heavenly Father or Christ making my special gift, and then sharing it with others. When they wondered what came of my gift, and I tell them I have given it to another, we all embrace with tears of joy. :)
I love this message. It made me remember that when I help someone, I should give them my best. Heber could have gone back home and given the homeless boy his old coat but instead he gave him his new coat. That is such a meaningful way to live life.
Sometimes the coat can be replaced with a kind word, or some quality time with someone. Charity doesn't always have to be something big, so long as we are willing to give what we have.
It is amazing how he cared for the other kid, by giving him a coat that his mom made for him, that I know is an act of service and I know that he did the right thing

They served not only each other, but the orphan as well. It’s a really kind and beautiful message about serving others who are not as fortunate as others.
I am not mormon, but I love these Christmas videos! Its good feeling and inspiring. PS: I know this story of Saint Martin, a Catholic saint (who was knight on a horse) who gave the half of his big coat to a poor sick man, laying on the side of the road. And he brought him to a house and asked the owner to care for the man and St. Martin paid for it.
So this guy- Saint Martin- was almost a real-life version of the Good Samaritan from Jesus' story? Literally came across an unwell dude on the road(sure, sick, not robbed and beaten within an inch of his life, but whatever, I did say "almost") and paid for his care? Awesome. Go Saint Martin. Dude obviously paid attention in class when they went over the parables.
I have been in the church for two years I'm so happy I found the right Church and there's a lot of friends in youth and I subscribed to all of the Mormon channels on RUclips
I've loved this story ever since I was young. The first time I watched it, it brought tears to my eyes. Now when I watch I know how much God loves us and protects us. We thank thee Heavenly Father for lending us you're strength.
I watched this video with my 4 year old granddaughter. She was spell bound and silent. As the video finished she came to me hugged me and snuggled up in my lap. Our home was filled with love and sweet peace. A very precious moment.
As a child, I watched this and cried and told my mom: " If I were the kid with the coat, I would do the same thing " And now, years later, I still smile and my heart warms up while watching this. Thank you!! For this video!
I have watched this movie several times with my 2 year old and each time it has brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful story with a powerful message. Thank you for sharing.
I remember hearing this one in sunday school as a child, I believe it's a story that helped save me or in other words it helped save my heart. It's quite intense as far as humaness goes.
Most watching this probably know this but for any who don't--This is a true story from the life of George Albert Smith. Truly touching example of living what you preach.
I know this is true. My mom and dad are such good examples of people who minister in a pure way. I’m grateful and I hope to embody that Christlike love
I am not sure about anyone else, but to learn about a true experience from the life of a prophet is so inspiring, and really helps the lesson of "it is better to give than to receive" become an important part of or lives. What also comes to mind is the quote, "your life is God's gift to you; what you do with your life is your gift to God."
There's a saying in Hindi : Neki kar dariya mein daal. Do good (noble deeds) and forget about it. Be discreet with your kindness. This is a beautiful story on charity.
you know i showed this to my aunt(not a member) , and she the type of peron who hates any relious stuff , this video made her cry , and i told her it was from our church , and she looked at me ans smiled ...this is the first time i have seen her smile over something the lds church has made ..i love this video
I am an LDS when i was 7 yrs old my primary teacher said that we will be speaker on Sunday and this video "The Coat" I shared this to the other people and when i was next is was so nervous and then I spoke I felt sad because i have a clothes and some of the peoplehad nonethat I have money,house,food and drink and other people had none and when it was Monday I bought on a store a hot chocolate and I saw a beggar and I gave him the hot chocolate and I felt happy because if you halped others...you will be blessed

What a good insight!
This video can make more of an impact on people than any other video...without even saying a word. That is power.
So cute! The picture of the boy who was given the coat at the end made me cry!
me 2!
Me too!
I love this message. It made me remember that when I help someone, I should give them my best. Heber could have gone back home and given the homeless boy his old coat but instead he gave him his new coat. That is such a meaningful way to live life.
This is what Jesus taught us... Awesome story

the kind
I love this, thank you for your comment.
Very good.
God is will.
Compassion in any true form can be like a warm coat or blanket. Amen to that. 💝☮️🎄
Thank you for this sweet simple portrayal of love and compassion. Isn't this exactly why our Savior wants us to be as little children?
Yes giving charity unto the least of your brothers and sisters is a wonderful gift for u and for them.
It is amazing how he cared for the other kid, by giving him a coat that his mom made for him, that I know is an act of service and I know that he did the right thing
I can never get through this video without crying. I hope to be like that.
Religious or not, this video has a beautiful message. I love it!
I agree totally.

One simple act of kindness will lift a lonely soul ❤❤❤
Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. If I could only be so selfless. What a blessing.
who can dislike such a beautiful video?
no matter how many times i watch this, i always cry... perfect for true holiday spirit
I cry with solemn joy every time I watch this.
i love the way how these stories can change peoples lives.
It is so beautiful, and the little kid looks so cozy in the end, in his new red coat ...makes me cry every time
Now! that's how to bring a grown man - a hard cynic to tears. Well done!! Simple but oh, so effective.

The best cartoon ever.

God bless you all

"Moments That Matter Most" Mormon Message
One of my favorites. My kids and I watch it all the time.
"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." -Matthew 25:40
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏
This is something my little 9 year old niece would do! It's so touching! If only everyone can think like this little boy!
When I watch this it touches my heart
'this is what Charity is about. Simple but touching story. It does soften the heart as it wets the eyes.
I love This Story but it made me cry Two Times.
This story always makes me cry.
this shows no matter of how old you are you can always give to people in need
Some of the most powerful videos put out by the church say nary a word. Powerful.
This makes a 15-year-old boy cry every time.
to the artist: thanks for using your creative talents to share the Savior's message with the world
This is powerful... this made me cry... please lets all be kind to each other...
This story always makes me cry, I love it so much! 🥺🥲🥰
You can never be too young to start being a great man
So simple and yet so profound. What a wonderful way to teach the Gospel

Love this video because I can show this story to my kids as it was told to me when I was a kids.
My son's favorite. Please, please more like thus soon
This is one of the best Mormon Messages I've seen. It reminds me of the one with the boys putting the dollar coins in the farmers' shoes.
love this how can no one like this
No words needed to convey this powerful message. I wish there were more messages like this!
I cry every time.
Who dislikes things like this? I wonder. Even though this was a little cartoon, I learned A LOT.
This gave me tears😢😢

This makes me tear up every time. Oh, how I love this story!
There are not enough words in the enlish language to describe how much this touches me.
I would love to see more like this. My little boys love this one.
This shows great parenting. The way she reacted would have help to shape him into the amazing man he turned out to be.
I love this movie because I remember my mother when I was child.
such a lovely charity story. everybody start charity now.
it may be easy to give when we have plenty....but true charity is giving when it's hard.
Yeah, thanks for making me cry guys!
