Service Shortcoming

So in Relief Society we were talking about service.

So they asked the "what are ways we can do service?"

And I raised my hand and said, "Well, we can keep our eyes open and look for opportunities."

Sensing everyone was totally unimpressed, I kept going.

"For example,"

(examples are always great because they are so relateable)

(relatable?)

(relate-able?)

"I was shopping last night"

(in WalMart - left that part out. reputation and whatnot.)

"and I saw this little kid"

(Mexican)

"saying 'papa?! papa!?!'. He was clearly lost."

(this is where it gets good because everyone was expecting me to say, "and I bought him an ice cream cone, found his dad and paid off their mortgage!")

"annnnnd I didnt help him. And that was an example of me being presented with an opportunity to serve but I failed."

(I kinda think it would have been funny if I went up to the kid and said, "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST GOOD LUCK FINDING YOUR PAPPPS!)

So the moral of my story for the weekend. Keep your eyes open for service opportunities.
