You’re Invited to #LightTheGoodNight

3

Dear friends, I want to personally invite you, your family, your friends, your churches, your neighborhoods, and your communities to join us for Light the Good Night, an opportunity to pray as one body for an end to Covid-19. 

At 7 pm CST on Good Friday (April 10), we will pray collectively from the safety of our own homes for lives to be spared and this disease to cease. As a symbol of our unified prayers, we will put a candle (or some light source) in our window.

What an encouragement it will be to see the night of Good Friday lit up with candles as a symbol of our collective prayers!

It is my hope that this spreads far and wide and results in thousands upon thousands of people praying in unity, but I can’t do it without you! I need your help in spreading the word! So please join us in sharing this event with your loved ones, your neighborhoods, your churches, and your communities. To share, simply post an invitation to social media and invite others to join you or even print out invitations and drop them mailboxes.

I have included a few shareable graphics for you to choose from in this post. Simply save the images and then share online or print.

If you would like to include a personal note for those not on social media or to hand out to specific people, I’ve included some suggested verbiage you can use to explain the event at the bottom of this post. Feel free to simply copy and paste. If there are other resources you may need, please let me know, and I will do my best to provide those. 

I also want to encourage you to make this event your own. It is not mine … it is simply something the spirit pressed on my heart. So if you have other ideas, please, by all means … run with them! 

I only ask that if you get a chance, please snap a pic and share it to social media with the hashtag #lightthegoodnight so we can all see those who are joining us in unified prayer! 

Are you with me? Let’s #lightthegoodnight and get ready to watch God move!

Sample verbiage for a letter or social media post. Feel free to copy and paste this or edit to make it your own:

Friends, as the threat of Covid-19 continues, I want to invite you to join us in praying for an end to this pandemic. And there’s no better day for unified prayer than Good Friday!

On Friday, April 10 at 7 pm CST, our family will take a moment to pray for an end to Covid-19. Would you join us? It’s easy; simply commit to praying for an end to the virus on this day, and then put a candle (or some kind of light source) in your window as a symbol! What a heartwarming treat it would be to drive around on the night of Good Friday and see the lights in the windows!

Please share with family and friends, and let’s all #lightthegoodnight!

Mom to 5 | Author “When Mothering is Hard & No One Sees” | Inspiring moms to anchor in Christ, nurture grace-filled families, foster lifegiving homes

How would you parent differently if you knew Jesus How would you parent differently if you knew Jesus was coming back soon?

I’ve been thinking about this question because it’s so easy to get caught up in the immediate demands of motherhood.

The meals. The laundry. The schoolwork. The activities. The endless decisions about what our children need and what we should be doing better.

And while these things have their place, I wonder how often we pause to consider the eternal significance of the work we’re doing.

Are we so busy preparing our children for the life we hope they’ll have here that we forget to prepare them for eternity?

Are we more concerned with their success than their souls? Their achievements than their character? Their comfort than their faith?

We don’t know when Jesus will return. But we do know that our days are numbered, our children are entrusted to us for a season, and the work of discipling them matters.

This isn’t an invitation to mother out of fear or to carry the impossible weight of saving our children. Only Jesus can do that.

It’s an invitation to lift our eyes.

To remember what matters most.

And to be faithful with the ordinary, unseen moments God has placed right in front of us.

Let’s parent with eternity in mind.

“Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” — Matthew 24:44

Save this as a reminder of the calling we’ve been given, and share it with a mom who wants to raise children who know and love Jesus.

There are things I can’t do for my children. There There are things I can’t do for my children. There are places I can’t walk then through. Decisions I can’t make for them. Hardships I can’t overcome.

But I know the One who can. I know the God who can lead them through the valley. Tend their broken heart. Wipe every tear from their eye. I know the God who can turn a valley of dry bones into a testimony of resurrection , and I know He can do the same for them.

So I get on my knees, and I do the one thing I know I can do even when I’m otherwise helpless. I pray. Fervently. Without ceasing. On my knees. And I know when I do, God hears from heaven and will answer my prayer.

Of all the things I do, nothing is more important Of all the things I do, nothing is more important or more effectual than going to battle for my children on my knees! The prayers of a praying parent are powerful indeed.

If you have a longing you can’t shake, if there’s If you have a longing you can’t shake, if there’s something you believe the Lord has placed on your heart, and it hasn’t yet come to fruition, I want to encourage you … 

Don’t give up. Don’t shelve it. Don’t fall for the lie that you’re too old or too irrelevant. God’s timing is not our own. And a sometimes His NO is simply an invitation to a better YES.
