serve or be served

By helping someone with something that she couldn’t do alone, we received blessings we weren’t able to obtain by ourselves.

Being Strengthened through Service  

By Nyle Randall

October 1981

I had the opportunity to send a short testimony of service in relief society to the media sisters in our mission today. I thought of the blessing of serving but also the blessing of being served. My grandmother always said being too proud to accept help denies others blessings. I’ve often felt small accepting help but never wanted to deny someone blessings. It's a beautiful balance. Sometimes we serve and sometimes we are served. Both sides are blessed every time.
