"I can say to you, my brothers and sisters, the happiest people in this world are those who love their neighbors as themselves and manifest their appreciation of God's blessings by their conduct in life."
--George Albert Smith, Our Heritage, 114
"Each day, look for ways to gladden hearts, to say kind words, to perform labors for others that they cannot do for themselves, to share the gospel. Be receptive to the whisperings of the Spirit prompting you to serve. You will find that the true key to happiness is to labor for the happiness of others."
--True to the Faith, 162
"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
--Galatians 6:2
"None of us should become so busy in our formal church assignments that there is no room left for quiet Christian service to our neighbors"
--Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball, 87
Thanks to all those who have served me lately, in whatever manner. You have brightened my day and reminded me how wonderful life really is. Also, thank you to those of you who have allowed me the privilege of serving you recently. Helping you out has reminded me how many wonderful friends and family I have.
Isn't service great?

Service is great! So . . . is this why you are always happy?! Thanks for serving me, Kim, and for letting me, in small ways, serve you. :o)
I serve you by giving you another niece.
and I serve you by giving you babysitting opportunities.
