"Sometimes service
can be done in quiet and simple ways. My friend purchases unstained baby
blankets at yard sales, washes them, and donates them to charity.
Another friend gives the extra items from her buy-one-get-one-free
coupons to the sisters on her visiting teaching route or to families
with children. Another sister has gorgeous rose bushes and shares a vase
of them with the sisters in the ward during the summer. A young woman
in high school started a knitting club with some of her friends. They
made leprosy bandages to send to third-world countries. Some dads coach
their children’s sporting activities; not only do they spend time with
their children, but they also support the community."
You don’t have
to do something big for service to count. After all, it’s “by small and
simple things [that] great things [are] brought to pass” (Alma 37:6).
