I meant to post this Friday, December 1. But last week was
especially stressful – the kind of week you’re relieved to be done with – and many
of my good intentions ended up being nothing more than intentions. In keeping
with the idea that it’s usually better to finish a task late than not at all, I’m
posting this today: For the second consecutive year in a row, the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is encouraging members and friends to “Light the
World” with random acts of kindness. You can find an advent calendar full of enlightening
ideas at https://www.mormon.org/downloads . Yesterday’s
hint was, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” We surprised a few neighbors
with loaves of freshly baked banana bread. Today’s is, “Honor thy father and
thy mother.” I haven’t yet decided what to do today, but I probably won’t post
it. I suspect boasting about your own good deeds defeats the whole purpose.
