In Honor of My Friend Kathy

by Rev. Christine Anderson

“Everything is beeeeeeeeuuuuuutiful!” I can hear Kathy saying that right now! Also, I can hear, “Whatever makes you happy!” How wonderful to be given so much trust. She trusted in the wisdom in me to know where my happiness comes from. We were in agreement that real happiness comes from Love, our Inner Source.

Many times I witnessed her practice of not assuming to know anything on her own, and looking to the Holy Spirit for the Right-Minded interpretation. Kathy will always be an example of living the Truth, and that only Love matters.

I want to share an experience a few years back that I had with Kathy in the Bumpity kitchen. (Bumpity is the name of Bob and Kathy Thompson’s residence in Portage, Wisconsin. Many years ago Bob’s children named the road leading to the house Bumpity Road because it was so bumpy.)

We were in the midst of a wonderful gathering, which was a common happening at Bumpity. There were many people, a great program, lot’s of food and plenty of laughter. Kathy and I were sharing the cleanup after the potluck dinner. She was washing the dishes and I was drying. It seemed as though the trail of dishes was endless, but talking and laughing as we worked seemed to lighten the load.

I wondered to my myself, “How does she do all of this work? These gatherings involve a lot — preparing the rooms for those staying over, cleaning, cooking, setting up for the event — the list goes on and on.” So I asked Kathy about this and, responding with a beautiful smile, she said, “Whatever I am doing, I am serving Spirit. While I am preparing for a gathering, whether it be cooking or cleaning or whatever, I am keeping in mind what a joy it is to have a gathering where people come to join to open to Love together. It is my greatest joy to serve Spirit! Joining in Love is all that is important to me.”

Kathy’s answer has changed my entire work ethic. Whatever I seem to be doing, I can have the joyful experience that I am serving Spirit. The task goes much more easily, efficiently and without any glitches. It also seems that I have more energy to do the job!

What a freedom to have this awareness! Anything that I perceive I am doing in this dream can be as joyful as doing dishes at Bumpity Road with my Angel Friend Kathy!
