Our Savior gave Himself in unselfish service. He taught that each of us should follow Him by denying ourselves of selfish interests in order to serve others.
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it” (Matthew 16:24–25; see also Matthew 10:39).
Service Bunnies – Hop To It!
I have been sewing these little bunnies last week for this little idea I had. If you want to make your own, here is where I got the pattern. You can also use store-bought bunnies, paper bunnies, or bunnies you already have.
The idea is to begin with one bunny. Tell your family that the little bunny is going to help bring some love into your home. Ask for a volunteer who wants to begin. That person then takes the bunny and thinks of something nice or thoughtful he/she can do for someone in the family. After that person has done their little act of service, the bunny is placed on the recipient’s bed.
That person is then next for the service task. What they don’t know is that bunnies tend to multiply. Give it a few days and then introduce another bunny. Keep the bunnies hopping around to each person in the family.
Then a few more days, introduce another bunny – until you have more bunnies then you can handle! At the end of the 2 weeks, hopefully there will be a little more peace in your home and the children get to each keep a bunny as a reminder to have more love in our families.
