Light The World Initiative -- Day Eight
Jesus Prayed for Others and So Can You



Another woman and myself have been asked to plan the church Christmas party.  We made a list of everything that needed to be done and decided to divide and conquer.  One of my responsibilities fell to arranging the musical program.

As with any large group, it seems like the same people always end up doing the singing at every musical function.  I was hoping this year might be a little different.  I thought it would be nice to give others a chance.  So I prayed to Heavenly Father to give me some inspiration as to who might enjoy being asked to perform.  Some definite thoughts came to my mind.  As I asked these "new" people to sing, they seemed genuinely delighted!  Some were not able to join because of other commitments, but they all thanked me for the opportunity, and several said, "please ask me again some time."

Moral of the story:  Everyone likes to be invited to the party.  Even if they can't make it, it's nice to receive the invitation.
