Gratitude for Service

I am so grateful for the good people in this world that love to serve others, and when they serve me; it makes me even more grateful for them.  There was a lady at the store today in front of me at the check out line.  I had a ton of groceries to load on the belt while holding little Isaac.  She turned to me and said, "Let me help you unload your groceries.  You have your little baby with you, and I want to help!"  I said, "Okay, thank you so much!"  So then she helped, and I wanted to thank her again, but she left with her groceries before I could.  I just love people like that.

I also just started thinking about what others have done for me when I needed help the most.  Right after I had my baby in the hospital, there were a whole bunch of women in the Relief Society (women's organization of the LDS church) that brought me meals for two weeks straight!  I was just amazed at how many of them volunteered to make us dinner.  I will be forever grateful for every single one of them that did that for us.  Most of those meals were so delicious, too!  These women know how to cook.  :)

These are just a couple examples of service that others have done for me.  It's people like this that make me have a desire to serve others.  I'm so grateful for them.  Because they touched me, I want others to feel the same way that I have.
