Finding Loving Kindness Within

Players from the Green Bay Packers made a little girl’s tea party a thing to remember. As the athletes were heading to practice, young Aria Rubens lifted her empty pink tea cup to each, asking, “Would you like some tea?” Each player gulped down a pretend sip and thanked her. One player said, “You make the best tea!” Aria’s mom, Ashley, loved the moment. “It’s crazy how people just want a good story about people being kind to each other.”
“One of the ideas in Zen Buddhism is that humans are essentially Buddhas, but they get distracted from their true nature. When we take a closer look at ourselves, we can expect to find a loving-kindness already there waiting to be invoked, and that it remains with us wherever we go.” – Edward Viljoen, Ordinary Goodness
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I align with the natural order of a spiritual Universe. By kindness, empathy, and a generous heart, I open avenues through which love can flow. I am blessed, and I am a blessing. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
