I was not surprised to rediscover that President Jean B. Bingham, the Relief Society General President, shared some remarks six months ago that are similar to the ones I shared last night. She listed several ways the Savior showed love for His fellowman, and then she listed several additional ways we can show love for and minister to each other. This all served to reiterate the point that practically anything can "count" as Ministering, so long as it is motivated by love.
Naturally, I'm still working on that, but I find it comforting that Ministering can be so flexible, adapting to the needs, interests, and abilities of the Ministering Brothers and Sisters and those to whom they Minister. The one essential element of Ministering is Christlike love for one's fellowman, as it is or should be the motivation behind nearly everything we do, especially when Ministering.
