Sarah led the family service today and the theme was integrity. Sarah has this great talent for using simple but profound images that draw you in to the topic and then keep repeating on you – like a good pleasurable meal!
Today Sarah made bubble solution from water, washing up liquid and sugar. From this she drew that if we integrate all 3 of these useful things then they produce a new substance which is quite fun to have. She then went on the use the seprate ingredients symbolically to represent different parts of our lives concluding by asking if we live boxed lives which are seperate, or do we allow all parts of our lives to integrate allowing a certain transparancy. Integration then leads to integrity.
It had never really struck me before that if we allow integration of the different spheres of our lives then we may achive integrity in our lives. When we live separate little lives we don’t.
