When I was growing up my dad would often give me small tasks to finish to help out around the house. Some were easy but the three I remember the most were the three 21 of all. The first was helping to weed the four 22 we had. It was 23 work. I would rather ride my bike than crawl（爬行）in the dirt on my hands and knees 24 the thousands of weeds in our gardens. The second was piling firewood for 25 . It was tough work and I got more than my share of pieces. I would rather walk in the woods than piling it in rows. The third was 26 water from a mountain spring to our house 27 our well water had too much iron in it to 28 .

Over the years, though, I learned to see the 29 in all the things my dad had made me do. Having fresh vegetables for dinner was a delight. 30 a cold glass of iced tea made from the mountain spring water was a pure 31 . Standing by the wood stove on a snowy December day was a wonderful way to 32 . I saw as well that all this work my dad had given me had 33 made me a better, stronger and more caring man. Most of all, I 34 that when I did my work with a(n) 35 heart, it didn’t feel like work at all.

Over the years I have learned something else too. When we do the work for our Heavenly Father with a 36 spirit, it doesn’t feel like work, either. It feels like that every act of 37 , word of encouragement, and gift of love we share will only make our lives 38 , make our hearts happier, and bring out souls closer to Heaven.

I am so 39 to both my dad and my Father in Heaven. They showed me the 40 of work and more importantly they showed me the pricelessness of love.
