Priesthood Service

Thursday I taught the seminary students about the priesthood and it reminds me of how grateful I am for the service and love that righteous priesthood holders show to me and those I love.  I asked the young men to tell me one way that their priesthood duties directly serve themselves and the answer is that they really don't—the priesthood is basically used to bless and serve others.  A young man can’t pass the sacrament to himself, a father cannot give himself a blessing.  A man cannot baptize himself.   All priesthood duties are performed for others.  Men, like women, have a calling centered on selfless service to others and I am so grateful for how the men in my life magnify the priesthood callings that they hold.
