On Sunday we had a combined lesson taught by Brother Kjar, Brother Larsen and Bishop Bailey. They chose to speak on service and wanted to express the importance of it. Service is a chance to reach out and help someone in need. It strengthens others and yourself. There is a great need for service everywhere you look. By giving of ourselves we are following Christs example and as we do so we can receive wonderful blessings in our lives. We are Christs hands and it's our duty to move the church forward. Be observant for opportunities and don't let them pass you by.
Why do we Serve?
Participant answers: By serving others I myself feel more complete
My Father taught me if I am ever having a hard time to give service because giving service makes me happy. When you serve it's easy to forget about your problems.
As husband and wife it is essential to serve each other and to discuss how you both are going to serve your family. Remember that being a Patriarch and a Matriarch is for time and all eternity. The greatest work you will do will be within the walls of your own home. You all have a life of service ahead of you and you have so much to offer. You are all important in our Heavenly Fathers plan, be prepared to move His work forward. When the Lord calls I hope you will be the first to stand.
