Kids, Service & Love

We love our kids! We love them more than we ever could have imagined we could love someone. This last Sunday in Relief Society, one of my new wonderful friends was teaching the lesson. She asked us why we love our own children so much. She asked, "Why are parents willing to do anything for their children? even give their lives for them?" Someone answered, "Because we serve them all the time." I felt the truthfulness of this principle. I know that the more we serve someone the more we grow in love for them. I know that because of the service I render to my family I have a great desire to be with them, love them, and serve them even more! I know that this is an eternal principle. I know that we have a loving Father in Heaven and our Savior, Jesus Christ who love us even more than the profound love we may have for our children. They have served us, they have given us all that we have. I also know that the more we serve our Heavenly Father and our Savior, the more we grow to love and appreciate them and all they have done and given us.
