Take someone who irritates you or scares you and work your thoughts about them around to kindness, forgiveness and love.
There is a prayer attributed to St. Francis that I love because the basic concept is that when I am in need of something like love or grace or anything the most direct way I can receive it is by giving it.
I have practised this for 7 or 8 years and it has made a significance in my life. Give it a try. |
Yup, great suggestion. I have done this with my father and it is very freeing. Thanks. Nice to know others are doing the same!
