Jeff’s church has launched a campaign to “Light the World.”  The initiative encourages people everywhere to do service for others and to “be a light” to them.  Jeff challenged our entire family to find ways to “light the world” this month, and we have all accepted the challenge.  Here are things we’ve already shared that we did yesterday:

–Jeff left a note on the front door of his office building that said “You are awesome.”

–Kathy fed stray cats.

–Thom helped a “wrong number” caller find the right number.

–Kari helped a fourth grade girl look for a lost-on-the-playground hair tie her grandma had made for her.

–Ted and I made an anonymous scholarship contribution to the community college.

I have always enjoyed performing random acts of kindness, but Jeff’s challenge will encourage all of us to make a special effort to be kind and helpful to others in the coming days.  The challenge continues, as I encourage anyone reading this to “light the world” a little bit every day this month and afterward.
