Yesterday at church, as I listened, I drew the arms of a tree and scribbled tiny leaves on the tips of most branches. I was imagining being rooted like the tree in perfect love – God’s covenant of love.
When I got home I watched the C4 show which explores how beauty obsessives engage with folks with facial disfigurements. The one show that I watched proved to me that the seeking of ‘plastic’ beauty was a way of hiding one particular woman’s need for love and affirmation – mostly from strangers who would most likely nod approvingly at her unwrinkled 50-year-old face. The woman who had the facial disfigurement didn’t feel unloved or unlovely. She genuinely had a lot of love and life to offer.
So, with Ben and Jerry’s in hand today, I had a think about how amazing it is to know that you are loved.♥
