* Reminder – love one another

—

, , , ,

Sometimes we have to remind ourselves to love one another.

love each other
Its so easy to forget. We get caught up in our own stuff – thoughts, fears, habits, distractions …

We drift.

We take each other for granted.

We forget to express our appreciation or say a word of thanks.

Its human to forget.

Yet taking anything for granted is a deadening thing.

There are many ways that we can bring our relationships to life once more, by expressing our love for one an other. Here are some of the simplest:

Send love through our eyes to see the best in each other.

Send love in our tone of voice.

Send love with a gentle touch.

Send love through our ears by listening.

Send love by the words we choose.

A word of love and understanding reconnects us all.

Namaste

    Just to let you know Val, this has been the theme of my entire day today, reminding myself not to take anything for granted. Now here I am, at ten minutes before midnight, and you post the very same message! H ❤

    It’s very hard sometimes, Val . . . when you’re related by blood but separated by anger / hurt / pride . . . and heaven only knows what else.

      We can only do our part, forgive, and trust that the other will feel the love and heal. I’m sorry there is a rift in your family Bee. 💛

        Thanks Bee; it’s not as serious as elsewhere, I’m quite sure; but still, it goes deep. Yes, we can and must (only) do our best. Thank-you for bringing your compassionate heart into Blogworld. Cheers!
