A dear friend just went to his reward. My memories of him include service - whether it was preparing supper for the women's retreat, repairing a wall, or leading the choir. He tackled each task with a big smile and a "how can we make this fun" attitude.
My friend learned the lesson long ago that serving is not just doing. Going through the motions doesn't touch anyone; only service can do that. A heart that is cleansed and a mind that's renewed is where serving from the heart lives.
Opportunities abound for us all. Let's renew our vow to look for them and serve with a glad heart. Decide to serve others - that's a decision that will change your life.
