“One person can make a difference. Each one of you has unique gifts. Use your gifts to serve others. As we walk in His light, we become women of vision, women of destiny, and women of eternal value…”—Mary Ellen Smoot
As part of my blog tour I am giving away free copies of my book, "A Sisterhood of Strength", If you'd like to be entered in the drawing become a gfc follower and leave me a comment on how service has touched your life.
I adjusted my settings for comments, hope it makes it easier now to leave one!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful cover. And if the stories are as good as your Torn Apart was, Diony, this should be an excellent read. As for how service has touched my life . . . nothing like hands-on experience to humble a person. I've been my disabled daughter's full-time caregiver for over 25 years (she's confined to a wheelchair; can't walk) and through it all have come not only to love her in ways I wouldn't have otherwise, but also to love myself. I also have developed great empathy for those who have challenges such as ours.

I'm now a follower - this was a good topic for me to sit and think about - thanks! I think a really small act of service happened a few years ago when I moved to a new place, didn't really know a ton of people and was feeling pretty lonely and sad until a guy from my ward walked by and gave me a smile. It could be considered as insignificant, but considering the way it helped me do a 180 with my mood was definitely significant! I know that I have also had many teachers in the Church who served me by sacrificing their time and energy to prepare and teach important lessons.
