Service is Love

This week I've had several opportunities to serve. I love to serve others. It is something my mom is always doing and as a child she often included me when she would serve others. From her, I learned of it's importance.

From my mom, I also learned that service is love. I could always see the love my mom had for the people she was serving, whether or not she knew them. She always acted with kindness and love. When I serve, I feel that way too. It is hard to serve someone, know you have made a difference, and not feel love for them. It is also hard to not feel more love for yourself. That's what I love most about service. It helps the person in need, but it also helps you.
