#LightTheWorld 2018


Hello, friends! I know that this year's holiday initiative from the Church started last week, but I needed that week to once again remember my grandfather. Plus, service is always in season and is a focus of this year's #LightTheWorld!

Many of you will remember that last year, there was an act of service each day that was suggested. I LOVE how this year's initiative has been streamlined and can be more personal! Instead of daily service, each week has a focus. This helps me out, because it means I have more time to pray and prepare what I would like to do. If you're stuck and can't think of what to do, you can download a calendar with ideas for each week! Here are the weekly focuses:

Find a way to help someone/somewhere in the world.

Look closer to home for a way to serve in your neighborhood.

Find ways to serve those closest to you.

Reflect on how the challenge has strengthened your faith
and find other ways to continue to do so as you seek
the Savior now and always.

So, that's it! I just know that following this initiative will help me manage my anxiety, because it begins by helping me look away from myself (and my anxiety) and then allows me to reflect on how I can come closer to my Savior. Which brings me to this week's print, inspired by the words to the hymn "Nearer, Dear Savior, to Thee", written by Joseph L. Townsend. I sang this hymn last week, and it truly made me reflect on what I am doing to come nearer to my Savior and what my eternal goal is. I've made it in a variety of colors so you can choose which one matches your style best. :)

And that's this week's post! I hope you join those of us who are following the #LightTheWorld initiative this year! Each time I participate, it truly bring the spirit of Christmas, which is the spirit of Christ, into my life and home. Until next time, sending love, peace, and healing wishes!
