#LightTheWorld – Day 1: Jesus Lifted Others’ Burdens
For the first day of the #LightTheWorld initiative in which we are participating, our little family got to focus on providing a service for others.
A few of the highlights included:
- I guest-lectured a comm theory class for a colleague who was not able to attend class.
- Summer spent her whole day serving our children, Avery, 3, and Reese, 14 months, who are battling a UTI and a viral infection, respectively. My wife is definitely a selfless mother!
- During a visit to the pediatrician, Reese was more than scared of the doctor, and her big sister held her hand and rubbed her face to help calm her down.
- Tonight, Avery got to do her favorite thing ever…give money to the salvation army bell ringers. She calls them “jingle bells.” She pulled money out of her own piggy bank and was so happy to be able to give it to the jingle bells at Wal-Mart.
Here is a short video recap for the grandparents:
