At our recent Stake Conference our Stake President shared an experience. He had just put his baby daughter to bed and was doing the dishes when he felt a prompting to go check on her. He tried to ignore it, but after the third time he went to check on her. He found her legs were tangled in the crib rails, and quickly helped her get untangled. He commented that is wasn't life threatening but his insteraction simply made her more comforable. He suggested that most acts of service are like this, they aren't big and miraculous, but simply make life a little better for someone else.
His teaching just keeps coming to mind. I want to be more service minded. I know that my life would be enriched by reaching out to others more often.

You are a great service giver. If you try to be more service minded you might be translated. You need to stop it! . . . j/k. I love the way you are. You brought me two different kinds of delicious home made soups when Samantha was born. I lived in Sandy and you lived all the way in Springville! Do I need to say it again? You are a great service giver.
