#LightTheWorld: Jesus Healed the Sick, and So Can You

I have noticed something interesting about the #LightTheWorld campaign:  as I have decided to participate in daily acts of service, I have had opportunities to serve practically fall in my lap.  Has something like that ever happened to you?  

Today's #LightTheWorld topic is: Jesus Healed the Sick, and So Can You.  There are many ways we can help those who are sick, from donating blood to bringing in meals.  Before I could decide what I would do for this challenge, though, I had a friend ask me if I would come sit with her for a while as she recovered from a surgery.  Of course, I said yes. All of a sudden I realized that the Lord is helping me find ways to participate in the #LightTheWorld service opportunities.  

Service can fit into our lives, even in this busy time of year, and as we demonstrate our willingness to help others, the Lord will help us find ways to serve.

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:
