What a super idea. Buy a pair of these lamps. Keep one and give the mate to your beloved missionary. Then, whenever you want to let your partner know that you’re thinking of him/her, just touch the lamp in your own house or church building, and the lamp lights up on the other side of the world, in sync — same color! (Both lights need to be on Wi-Fi to work correctly, of course.) Incredibly powerful symbolism for your church or family member.

This made me chuckle. OK, the idea is great and we wanted people thinking about and praying for us, but I would put the light in the living room or somewhere far away from the bedroom because, invariably, someone would think of me in the middle of the night where I lived (we were 7-8 hours ahead of Eastern Time!
They’d inevitably “light up your life” in the middle of the night, you’re thinking. : )
