My sisters have both been involved in service programs lately, for which I would like to praise them! I think their parents have set a good example. In this fast-paced world, it can be a challenge to remember those around us who could use a little help. But if we all try to remember a neighbor or two in their need, and help lift a burden in any way we know how, life will be that much better for us all. Here are a few of my favorite quotes on service:
“A single, struggling individual may be stalled with his heavy load even as he begins to climb the hill before him. To reach the top unaided is an impossibility. With a little help from fellow travelers he makes the grade and goes on his way in gratitude and rejoicing.” –David O. McKay
“None of us should become so busy…that there is no room left for quiet Christian service to our neighbors.” –Spencer W. Kimball
“A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.” –Joseph Smith
“Build into your life an area of service, and when you marry, have an understanding as husband and wife that a big piece of your life is going to be devoted to service to the Lord and to your fellowmen. Build service into your thinking and your aims and desires, and then organize your time right. It will work if you want it to.” –David B. Haight
