Thought: As we extend our hands and hearts toward others in Christlike love, something wonderful happens to us. Our own spirits become healed, more refined, and stronger. We become happier, more peaceful, and more receptive to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit. (Dieter F. Uchtdorf)
Object Lesson: You will need two candles. Light one of the candles and then talk about the brightness of the flame. Ask your family if it will hurt that flame to light another candle. Take the other candle and light it by using the first. Point out to your family that the first candle burns brighter as it is lighting the other candle. Compare the fact that a candle loses nothing by lighting another to what it is like for us when we give service to others.
