Service brings love. Yea, Yea, heard it all before. but yesterday i took the time to be aware of its reality. in the midst of some anger and bitter feelings expressed in the family i got a voicemail reminding me the missionaries were coming for dinner. suddenly there was a purpose for the afternoon. we planned dinner, the kids helped clean up the front room/set the table and while we ate dinner we enjoyed pleasant conversation. then jeremy cleared the dishes and got dessert ready. jeremy was able to take a friend to the fireside which helped him look outside himself to make sure his friend felt welcome. making someone else more comfortable, welcoming them into your home, putting a smile on their face... these things say, "I can make a difference! I can make someone happy! I feel good about what i've done!"
