After Vespers and Bible Study on Saturday evening, nine of us went out for dessert and coffee [I went for a vanilla malt milkshake, followed by scones and an Earl Grey tea]. Usually I would make excuses as to why I could not come, but inline with me trying to change some of my unhelpful behaviour, I decided I'd go when asked.
I was tempted to drive straight home at one point, but I didn't.
And it was a fun evening. A great evening. Two people, one a visitor and one a former parishioner now at a different parish, came along and it was great to speak to and catch up with the former parishioner as well as meet the visitor, who was known to many others. Equally great was the conversation I had with someone about my mental health struggles; again, as I have been blessed to find, when I, with some consideration as to the person, do open up, the result can often be a blessing. Thnaks be to God.
