The title of today’s sermon is from a bit of today’s Gospel from John - “Joy Made Complete in Themselves”

I watched a movie last week called “Hungry for Change” – it’s really interesting and has a lot of great information in it if you have time. There was a woman in it named Dr. Christiane Northrup and she said something that really, really got me.

I like it when three completely different things present themselves to you as gifts from the Universe and they all illustrate the same thing in different ways.

Friend – you are perfect as you are. You are growing, changing, learning and evolving each day. And you are different – and THAT is what makes you beautiful. You are different from me and I’m different from you.
