being ourselves is what we're meant to be

Yesterday's wedding was lovely and love filled. The minister was of the humorous relaxed variety - chatting to someone later they said their daughter had proclaimed him the sort of vicar she'd start going to church for. I was delighted by the introduction given to me by the bride to someone she wanted me to meet. "This is Kristie, she has a beautiful ministry of being her wonderful self and doing good by being wherever she is". I think it's a lovely summary, and very affirming that someone else thinks that what my ministry is :D

A quote that is inspiring me at the moment is by Howard Thurman (I don't know who he is)
"don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you become alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have become alive."

So for me it's all about connection and feeling and spreading the love. What is it for you? Go!!

I'm just back from the dentist. As you may recall, I really really dislike going to the dentist. However, I don't want for that vibe to rub off on the lovely people who are kind enough to do a professional job of caring for my teeth. So I thanked the wonderful woman today and assured her I was very grateful for all she was doing, even though it wasn't my favourite thing. She said it wasn't anyone's favourite thing, so I informed her that for my best friend, going to the dentist IS one of their favourite things. I try not to miss any opportunity to let people know how much they are liked really :D

Now if I can get access to the computer for long enough this afternoon, I hope to enlarge yesterday's very short blog, with my reflections on love and marriage. First tho to encourage the kids to get dressed...
