Loving Kindness

Oh, I love this image. LOVE & KINDNESS ARE NEVER WASTED! 
​
They bless the one who receives them...
and they bless you, the GIVER.
They always make a difference.

Have you practiced Loving Kindness Meditation?

I enjoy practicing this meditation, most of the time. It's true, I want to offer loving kindness to myself, my loved ones, and the world. But when you get to that part about offering it to someone you're struggling with, that's really hard. Yes, really hard. 

But God calls us to love and pray for our enemies, even forgive them. Right? And I find this type of meditation to be helpful when I'm struggling with a loved one (or stranger).

If you'd like a little support on your meditation journey with loving kindness (and love books as your guide) pick up my friend Dana's book, One Breath at a Time. Using five approaches (including loving-kindness meditation it's a practical, 40-day guide to beginning and sustaining a Christian meditation practice in our often chaotic world.

To be guided through an audio version of loving kindness meditation (where we specifically pray for our families), listen below.
