I am not the type of person who seeks recognition for performing an act of service or feel the need to blow my own horn and yet so many of the “Light of the World” suggestions want us to use social media to post our accomplishment or share suggestions. This day for example
As
though social media is not already flooded with donate to this cause – donate to
that cause. So and so is raising money
for this charity or that – and now light
of the world wants me to add to that:
“Look what I did!”
I
can share a link I suppose. But I’m not going to. I am not alone. My RS president is not too thrilled with the
idea of posting our every move when it sounds like we are blowing our own horns
which I’m sure is not
the intent of the church. It’s probably
more of a missionary tool and because of COVID may be limited to activities
that we have done in prior years.
I have written something for day 10
which in my opinion is too long for a facebook post. I am sure I will be
posting it to this blog before the 10th. Perhaps I will provide a link to the paragraph
I have selected for my day 10 fb post. I
don’t think all my
Light the World activities will make it to facebook however. Does that mean I am not sharing the light
appropriately? Would sharing a link on facebook make my light more
genuine? I don’t think it
would.
