Small Acts of Service

There have been a lot of times that I have thought, or been prompted to do something for someone. Usually it's something simple, like offer to bring dinner over, or help someone clean up their house, or maybe just take a plate of cookies over to someone.
Well, usually I don't do it. I want to, but I feel dumb about it. Or I have the intention, but just don't follow through because I'm busy or I forget.
Today, I decided to take some cookies to a member of my ward who had mentioned to me that she was wanting cookies, but that she didn't really like baking. I don't know her well, so I was hesitant. But, I did it anyway.
Her cute little girls were so excited, and kept asking if they could have a cookie now. It made my day. I was glad to see her for a few seconds.
Later, I got a message saying thanks and that it made her day.
Who knew that something so small could cause so much joy... For me and for her.
I am going to strive to follow those promptings to do little things, so that when it's really important, I can receive the promptings to do bigger things, and I will have the courage and faith to follow them.
