TDDT:Why should I do Service?

For personal Progress I had to write down all the quite acts of service that I noticed for two weeks. some of the things that I saw was...

My Mom cooks food two times a day. Or she washes our clothes. Or my Mom will give me or one of my sisters a "I love you" note. She will change the babies. She will get us our home work if we forgot it a home. She will smile at a stranger if they look sad.

My Dad goes to work every day. He will play with my little brother when he is all crazy. He will change the baby when my mom is tired. He will go to Alabama to get my grand parents. He will be awesome.

These are links to some of the required scripture reading:
Matthew 5:13-16
Matthew 25:34-40
Galatians 6:9-10

Why:
I makes people feel good. And when you serve you show charity to them.

Charity. The highest, noblest, strongest kind of love, not merely affection; the pure love of Christ. It is never used to denote alms or deeds of benevolence, although it may be a prompting motive
-Bible Dictionary

Which means that if you serve, you show charity, which means you are one step closer to being like Christ. Which is who we want to be like.

Our church is service oriented, because it will bring us closer to God. And make us stronger. I know that if we serve we will become closer to the people we serve and Heavenly Father. And that we will be happier.
