miracles service to his mother

Lord would never give us commandments to do anything without proving a way for us to accomplish that thing. The Lord has commanded us through his prophets to serve our fellow men. Through his prophets in the Old Testament the lord gave us examples of service. Elijah and Elisha healed leprosy, raised the dead and provided food and sustenance to a widow in exchange for service she gave him through faith.
The New Testament gives examples of the service that Jesus himself performed. His first miracles were a service to his mother at the wedding in Canaan to help her in hospitality. We can serve in many ways. Jesus even taught Mary and Martha, that though preparing food and giving hospitality is important service, the more important service is listening and giving head to the words of Jesus.

In the book of Mosiah, King Benjamin gave his final address to the people, before he presented his son Mosiah to be the new king. He explained to them that all through his life he had served the Nephites, not because it brought him praise or looked good to other people, but because he loved God and loved his fellow men, and by serving his fellow men he was giving service to god.

He also warns us even if we do all we can during our lifetime we are still unprofitable servants.

The parable of the talents is overlooked as a m example of service. We have talents we can use in cheering or calming other people through music, art, or just listening. Gently loving others is a talent we can all develop. Think of the service David gave to King Solomon in his illness and distress he calmed him with the music of his lyre.

The Young women's values include good work and integrity. The importance of those two words coming together demonstrates that doing good work for the right reasons is just as important as the service itself. If we are giving service so that others will admire us, or give us credit or to earn points it is not the right reason. Like King Benjamin, we should be giving service because we love god and want to serve Him.
