I’m so excited to share an amazing thing I learned about that will literally transform your entire December! And I wanted to hurry up and let all of you know about it today so you can sign yourself up to join me in it before we all start taking off for the Thanksgiving festivities this week, because this amazing movement starts next Sunday (December 1st) so be sure you get in on it now before you take off for the week!
This isn’t just any movement….it’s is a WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT and over 779,000 people have already signed up to be a part of (with that number growing in leaps and bounds) and it’s going to be AWESOME!!! Can you tell how excited I am about it?! 🙂 The name of the movement is #lighttheworld and the reason for the movement is to transform December into a Season of Service in order to touch hearts and change lives….starting with our own…
Okay, so here’s how it works: All you have to do to join it is click on this website link and enter your mobile number (or if you prefer you can choose to get daily prompts by email instead) so that starting December 1st and going through December 25th, you will receive a daily #lighttheworld text message containing a prompt for an act of service to do that day. Some examples of a daily prompt would be things like, “The next time you receive a text today, tell the person who sent it something you appreciate about them” or “Call your parents right now and tell them how much you love them” and so on. These are easy to do acts of service that barely take a moment to do each day…yet their impact will be so much bigger than we can know…
What an amazing way to transform our December by making sure we are getting outside of ourselves and doing things that are going to change our own hearts and minds for the better, as well as the hearts and minds of those we serve throughout the month. I can’t think of a better way to honor the upcoming birth of our Savior Jesus Christ than by each of us becoming a little more like Him by serving others as He did.
I am so stoked that I signed myself up for this movement today. And I hope all of you reading this will hurry and sign up to do it with me because the only thing better than doing good, is doing good with your friends….
I love knowing that as I go into my Thanksgiving week I am already prepared to make sure I will get my first act of service prompt next Sunday so I’ll be sure to start my month of December off right! Transform your December by signing up TODAY!

I’m afraid the link doesn’t work for me!!
Here’s the message I get back:
“The address wasn’t understood
“Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ps) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
“You might need to install other software to open this address.”
I’m going to go try with a different browser, but you might have the IT people look into this – a LOT of people use Firefox these days.

Hi, Amy:
Just tried the link with Safari, and got a message saying that this web address won’t work:
“ps://www.comeuntochrist.org/light-the-world/service-prompts-sms-signup”
Somehow, the “htt” got left off the address.
I added those three letters and got to the website with no problems.
Call IT!!
Have a blessed day,
EARL
Thanks for the prompt, Amy! I’m signing up right now.
