It is the Service that Counts

One of my friends likes to cook. Every time she cooks, she takes some of the goods to her next door neighbor. Unknowingly, her neighbor was struggling with the loss of her father. The cook came over as usual and shared some or her baked treats. Her neighbor then informed her of the situation and said she came over at the perfect time and that she really appreciated the treats.


Though it didn't take away her sorrow, it brought light to her day.

“In actual fact it is the service that counts—the Lord’s service. This is the service that counts, brethren—the service to which all of us have been called, the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Thomas S. Monson – Ensign Nov. 1989

bIt is amazing how our small act of service can be an answer to someone's prayer.
