Days 361-365

This is it, my friends. The 365th day of my service blog. It's been quite the eventful, wonderful, and thanks to this blog serviceful year!

Thursday I bought some Christmas and just because gifts for some friends and family.
Friday I mailed a letter to a friend.
Saturday I served in the temple.
Sunday I helped a friend with their calling in the ward.
Today I bought and gave a thank you gift to a dear friend.

I went to temple square tonight and looked at the beautiful lights, listened to the nativity story, and watched the missionaries walk around talking with people. We can all service in hundreds of ways - each day even. Let's all be on the lookout daily.

This blog has taught me that service comes in big and small packages. All acts of service are important for those you do them for - even the smallest things that seem so insignificant. Follow that thought in your head that says, "Hey, go pick that up" or "Hey, go help that person." You'll never regret those times you do.

To you, readers, I close this blog, and thank you for hanging in there with me through my slacking and HUGE makeup days! Thank you for your comments. Thank you for supporting me. :)

HAPPY SERVING!!

Day #360

Today I prepared to serve in one way & ended up serving in a completely different way. I had an evening class tonight where people (myself included) usually end up needing to borrow a pencil either from the teacher or from another student. So today I told myself that I was going to bring TWO pencils! One for myself and one for another student who would, most assuredly, need it. So on I went to the class... but no one needed a pencil. :) Oh well! I felt good for thinking of someone else and bringing something to help someone just in case.

Then my cute brother sent me a message this evening asking for my help to help him organize his school calendar for the next week and a half until finals are done. This man is an animal - he's a husband, father, full-time employee and full-time student. He does it all and I am very impressed. So I completely understood why he'd be stressing out right now with a million and a half things to do for school in only 9 days. I tried to give what help I could and though I didn't feel it was much he said he felt better after we chatted. That made me happy. I love helping people feel better!! That's what we're here for, right? To help each other along the journey of life so we can get to something better! Aka eternal life! Boo ya! ;)

That was my service for the day. Get out there and serve!
