Service

Dictionary:

The action of helping or doing work for someone.

Quotes:

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi-

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
-Rabindranath Tagore-
 
 Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love?
 
 Our Savior teaches us to follow Him by making the sacrifices necessary to lose ourselves in unselfish service to others. If we do, He promises us eternal life, “the greatest of all the gifts of God”
-Dallin H Oaks-

Scriptures:

Mosiah 2:16-17
Behold, I say unto you that because I said unto you that I had spent my days in your service, I do not desire to boast, for I have only been in the service of God.
And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God. 

My thoughts:

Service is giving of yourself, your time, your effort, your money, and your love.
