IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!
CHRISTMAS SEASON
Can you tell I love Christmas?
This year, I wanted to challenge myself to participate in Blogmas! Blogmas is basically where I blog everyday until Christmas day and honestly, I’m really excited!
I’m even more excited to tell share something that my church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) has initiated which is the #LIGHTtheWORLD project. The goal of this is to perform 25 different acts of service each day until Christmas. I love this because there’s something about the holidays that makes people more generous and loving. I can feel it in the air, and it sends happy shivers down my back.
I know that it is easy to get preoccupied with my own life, especially since finals are around the corner, and classes are winding down. I also know that service can sound frightening, but it doesn’t have to be! Service is more about the people than it is about the project.This is reassuring to me because I know that I can sometimes feel like I can’t do super amazing and fantastic projects that change the lives of thousands of people.
A small act of service that I did today was offering to pay for the meals of three of my friends today. It wasn’t anything extravagant, but it still counts! One of the reasons why I love the #LIGHTtheWORLD project is that it’s something that we can do outside of the holidays. Service will always be needed, lives can always be improved. It shouldn’t take a holiday for motivation to make the world a better place to kick in.
So as we all go through this holiday season and #LIGHTtheWORLD, I challenge everyone to continue serving others, even after all the wrapping paper has been thrown away and the Christmas tree comes down.
