Selfless Service

"God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs."  Spencer W. Kimball, Small Acts of Service.

One of the first things I learned in basic training were the 7 core values of the Army.  One of those was Selfless Service.  Today we honor Scott Hilton, who will be travelling to Haiti for 3 weeks to help rebuild a collapsed medical clinic.  They asked for French speakers with a construction background, and Scott applied instantly.  Scott is the busiest person I know, but willingly volunteered his time and talents.  Many people have pitched in for this tragedy, but Scott also serves on a daily basis as a Bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which calls on him to minister to those in his congregation.  It is easy to come together and give after a crisis--we are hard-wired to do so.  Giving of yourself on a regular basis requires even greater dedication. While Scott serves in Haiti, look around for opportunities to serve selflessly.
