Angel of love<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A while ago I shared the story of three little angels<\/a>, only one could be chosen to enter the home. When the woman chose love all the angels came in. When she asked why the angels replied, “When you freely invite love into your life, all the other blessings will surely follow.”<\/p>\n

This Lent we are practicing 40 days to love<\/a>. Whatever we focus our attention on we get more of so as we focus on love we will get lots more love as well as all the other blessings love includes.<\/p>\n


\nWhat causes you to move away from love<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This week notice how you forget to focus all of your attention on love (if you did)? Judgment is my biggest distraction. When I judge anyone or anything, even if it is just a passing thought about an outfit or someone’s hairstyle or the way someone is driving love goes out the window.<\/p>\n

How do you distract yourself?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is it fear?
\nA bit of jealousy?
\nFeeling less than or better than someone?
\nDespair?
\nFocusing on the future or getting lost in the past?<\/p>\n

How do you turn away from love?
\nHow can you remind yourself to tune back into love?<\/p>\n

Love or fear. With practice you can choose love more often.<\/p>\n
