Trading Black Friday for #LightTheWorld

The best release today was not special sales pricing, but rather, this new video:



I'm excited to participate in #LightTheWorld--essentially a service advent calendar.  On December 1st (Jesus Lifted Others' Burdens and So Can You), I'm planning on joining in the worldwide day of service by handing out bags with socks and snacks to the homeless in our community.  Then, on the days leading up to Christmas, I will do other things that relate to the theme of the day.  Maybe I will do one of the listed suggestions; maybe I will come up with my own idea.  

Won't you join me in this #LightTheWorld initiative? I know I always feel good when I do something that helps others.  I'm looking forward to experiencing the joy of service this Christmas season--and that's a better feeling than snatching up any Black Friday bargain!

She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
