Helpers

Yesterday in church one of the speakers mentioned that the Lord needs helpers.  The Lord needs determined, dedicated saints who are just willing to meet the day to day needs of the church.  He needs saints who will go to the temple every week, do their home teaching and visiting teaching, clean the church, pass the sacrament, teach the lesson, and any other assignment that might come up.  My father taught me how to be a helper but I haven't always appreciated it.  Sometimes I don't mind if I am the only one putting up chairs or taking out the garbage but I think this little line in that talk yesterday really comforted me in doing what I am supposed to.  I am thankful for having so many opportunities to serve and for the ability to take them.
