Opportunities to Serve Some of us serve only those we enjoy being around and avoid all others. However, Jesus commanded us to love and serve everyone. We can serve members of our families. Husbands and wives should be aware of each other's needs. Parents should serve their children not only by feeding and clothing them but also by teaching and by playing and working with them.
Children can serve by helping with household chores and by helping brothers and sisters.
A husband can care for a sick baby when his wife needs rest. A wife can prepare a favorite dish for her husband. A mother and father may sacrifice to send a child on a mission. An older boy may comfort a little sister who is afraid of the dark or help her learn to read. Our prophets have told us that a family is the most important unit in society.
