Getting caught up in our own hectic lives can be a little too easy. We have responsibilities to our family, school, work, church, sports, and other things we are involved with. So how do we push past the stress of completing every single item on our infinite to-do list? It's as simple as service. Mosiah 2:17 says: "when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." As we selflessly turn our hearts towards those around us, we will be blessed as a result of doing God's will. Here are 8 LDS quotes on service to help you find the joy in the act.
