I was just contemplating this Sunday afternoon these words that was shared a couple Sundays ago from our Stake presidency. I don't really remember what his talk was about, but when he said these words.."We need to activate the active", it struck a cord with me. I consider myself an active member in my church and my faith, but it really made sense to me and made me realize that although I may be active, I may not be ACTIVATED so to say. I know I'm guilty of just going thru the motions of what I know I'm suppose to do,..but lacking the ENERGY OF SOUL and SPIRIT of what I'm doing.
I guess when your truly 'active' you are in a state of mind of constantly looking for and doing what you feel you need to do. Selfless acts of service, random acts of kindness, anxiously looking for teaching and learning opportunities, etc. etc. So I guess I'm gonna try a little harder to not just be 'present',.. but actively present...not just living but actively living...actively engaged in good causes, and actively engaged as a mother and wife, sister and daughter.
