You're listening to Encounter, a simple daily podcast to help you find the sacred in

the ordinary.

We have 100 meditation episodes on this podcast, but if you want to listen for free to the

entire library of 500, I encourage you to download the encountering piece mobile app where

all the meditations are free as they should be.

If you want to know about love, then ask a couple with a lifetime of experience.

Is there anything more adorable than watching a sweet old couple still very much in love?

You've seen them.

Holding hands as they slowly walk down the street.

Seeing it decades old jokes and maybe stealing a forehead kiss, just seeing a thriving love

that has stood the test of time is not only adorable, it's inspirational.

And it reminds us that if we try hard enough, anything is possible, and maybe, just maybe,

we can all learn something from that kind of intentional love, and maybe, just maybe,

we can all learn something from that kind of intentional love, and maybe, we can also

learn how to just get along.

In fact, the theme of this meditation from Ephesians chapter 4 is about getting along, being

compatible, not perfect, but at least being able to coexist together, living in unity.

We will be together for about 15 minutes, so begin your time of meditation, noticing

your eyes transition from a soft gaze to closed, settle into a time of agreement, a place

of harmony, and a moment of unity starting with God, Spirit, and Son.

Continue to listen and pray from this passage from Colossians chapter 3, and respond softly,

heavenly Father.
