Happiness from Helping Others

"President Gordon B. Hinckley believed in the healing power of service. After the death of his wife, he provided a great example to the Church in the way he immersed himself in work and in serving others. It is told that President Hinckley remarked to one woman who had recently lost her husband, 'Work will cure your grief. Serve others.'

"Those are profound words. As we lose ourselves in the service of others, we discover our own lives and our own happiness.

I'm just getting caught up on blogs. I loved this post & the one about your Sunday morning battle. What is it with boys & church clothes? They just do NOT go together! :)
