There is a special program of sorts this holiday season where the church is encouraging people to Light the World. They provide ideas on what you can do to help share the light. Yesterday was a day of service. I did a few little things and was looking for little ways to serve. Today had to do with honoring your parents. I tried to do so by posting a little something about my folks on the Facebook. These are not big, in your face acts. It is simpler than that. I think small acts of kindness and though that works for me I am sure there are those much more organized then me who are doing amazing things. Here is what I have learned the last couple days. Even though my acts are simple they help me to feel the saviors love, they help me feel good. Whether that is helping to Light the World I don't know. I suppose it helps to light my small portion of the world.
Well, here is what I shared about the folks:
All of my life I have been blessed by the example of my parents. They have taught and continue to teach their children and their grandchildren how to serve others with unconditional love. Throughout the ups and downs of life and no matter how difficult their own trials have been, they have been faithful to each other and they have been faithful to the Lord. Sometimes people wonder how I do what I do as a single father, the simple answer is that I do what I was taught to do by my sweet parents. Love you mom and dad. Jim Fontano Kathy Fontano
