Can you tell how excited I am about it?! \ud83d\ude42   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&#8230;.starting with our own&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, so here&#8217;s how it works:  All you have to do to join it is click on this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comeuntochrist.org\/light-the-world\/service-prompts-sms-signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">website link <\/a>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, &#8220;The next time you receive a text today, tell the person who sent it something you appreciate about them\u201d or \u201cCall your parents right now and tell them how much you love them\u201d and so on.  These are easy to do acts of service that barely take a moment to do each day&#8230;yet their impact will be so much bigger than we can know&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> 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&#8217;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.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8230;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;ll be sure to start my month of December off right!
