Like if I am in the grocery store ready to check out with a cart full and the person behind me has 2 things, I always try to let them go first, why should they have to wait on my load?<br />I was in the grocery store and walking by the milk. There were at least 3 other people around. I don't think I was even getting milk, but saw a woman struggling to ger her milk off the top shelf. I quickly asked if I could help. She was greatful and accepted, explaining she had surgery on her shoulder and had trouble lifting it. It took me 2 seconds and hopefully spared her some pain. <br />sometimes service is just a matter of listening to the spirit or sometimes just paying attention to people around you.Missyb7noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-86515695389720150902012-02-02T16:17:06.084-05:002012-02-02T16:17:06.084-05:00Oh, I have missed reading your blog lately!

I have had service on the brain lately and am SO excited to join you in your Service Boot Camp this year! (Hoping to do a post of my own about it soon - when I can find a quiet minute!) <br /><br />I've been so busy, I haven't even had a chance to stop by and tell you how FABULOUS your new design looks! I absolutely love it! :)Jennifer Bradshawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-81895676953203212112012-02-02T15:51:50.487-05:002012-02-02T15:51:50.487-05:00I admit that I feel really lame that I am not doin...I admit that I feel really lame that I am not doing this.

I am learning that this really is a great way to temper ourselves and to show love for others and to remind people that the world doesn't need to be so rush rush! :)Jocelyn Christensenhttp://beinglds.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-87879098330780729082012-02-02T12:53:29.810-05:002012-02-02T12:53:29.810-05:00I have let people go ahead of me in line, too.
