Moroni 7:8 "For behold, if a man being evil giveth a gift, he doeth it grudgingly; wherefore it is counted unto him the same as if he had retained the gift; wherefore he is counted evil before God."
If we don't give willingly, it's as if we didn't give at all. I think this applies a lot as a bishop's wife. You sacrifice your husband a lot to service in the church. How much better it is to do it conciously and say, "Lord, I give this gift to thee, because of my love for thee and all that thou has given to me!"
It also applies to my service in our family as the mom. When I ponder on whether I am doing enough service in my life, I always have to remind myself of all the service I give to my family every day. I think I am missing out by not realizing the giving. I need to enjoy the giving. Give and serve conciously and be grateful for my chance to serve.
