#LightTheWorld 2017



This Christmas season we are invited to particapate in #lighttheworld. An inicative the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints has created. The purpose is to generate more christlike service. Our family has decided to particapate and to document our service. Now, I fully believe in the phrase, serve without remembering and recieve without forgetting; however, I want my children to be able to see what we have done this holiday season as a visual reminder. 
Here are the ways The Craig Family is trying to #lighttheworld

Day One - "Freely ye have received, freely give." Matthew 10:8
Today we went to Salt Lake City to use the new charity vending machines. We spent $25 and donated 100 meals. There were tons of options to chose from including a goat, two chickens, medicine, reading glasses, backpack, baby hats, goldfish and so on. The prices also ranged from free up, so no matter your individual budget there is something you can give. The girls loved it!

Day Two - "I was thirsty and ye gave me drink." Matthew 25:35
Today we went to Costco, purchased a case of water, and delivered it to a local homeless shelter. It was also an opportunity to talk with Hannah about homelessness and we were also able to talk about what a blessing it is that we have a place to live and food to eat. 

Day Three - "Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days." Matthew 12:12
Today Hannah sang in the stake choir. It was wonderful to listen to her share her talent with everyone. The spirit was so strong as the children sang about Heavenly Father and that He answers prayers.
