Day 19: I'm grateful for opportunities to be of service.
In detail:
In large part, my life is filled with self-serving tasks (work, shopping, wasting time on leisure pursuits). And while I enjoy many of these activities, I have found that when I really think about it, I most enjoy opportunities to serve others. I may not always enjoy the task itself (although many times I do), but I ALWAYS enjoy the feeling of helping someone and making a positive impact, however small, on the world.
I love the scripture "...when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." Mosiah 2:17.
I have a testimony of the love that the Lord has for each of us. And I know that he sees our wants and needs. I'm grateful that he also gives us the opportunity to see all his children through his eyes and to share in the amazing experience of being an answer to someone's prayers.
It is sometimes hard to remember to embrace service opportunities when I'm caught up in my every day life, but each time I do, I am richly rewarded and feel a strengthened desire to seek out further opportunities.
