― Ralph Waldo Emerson
The LDS Facebook & Website show 26 different ways to show service. How many can I do in one day?
- Smile (Holly)
- Tell a family member why you love him/her (did this with all three boys)
- Find out more about someone you don't know very well (my teaching partner is training for a marathon!)
- Give a sincere compliment (singing guy in primary)
- Deliver a treat to a neighbor (fresh bread to someone with a heavy heart)
- Reach out to ward member (asked someone a direct question-tried to show I was interested in them)
- Pray for someone (lots of people to pray for)
- Help someone do something he/she can't do alone (kids)
- Give a friend/family member call just to say hello (sister)
- Sing a happy song (Sing your Way Home)
- Do an extra chore around the house (help put kids clothes away)
- Ask someone about his/her family (Meg at HR)
- Laugh instead of groan (does praying for someone you don't like count?)
- Listen when someone speaks to you (I always need to work better on this)
- Congratulate someone on a success (Matt)
- Pray to know who you can help (Karen)
- Listen to someone patiently
As you can see, I still have a lot of work to do on service. The nice thing is, every day you can serve, more and more.
