Elder's Meditation of the Day - February 15 | |
"One of the essential characteristics we need to learn as men
is to be gentle, and to be gentle means to be serene, to enter
meditation or a prayerful state in the morning and evening."
|
-- Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA

The most important task we can do during any day, is to start the day with prayer
and meditation. We need to ask the Creator to be in our lives. We ask Him to direct
our thinking. We ask Him for the courage and the power to be gentle. In the morning
quiet time, we make our request for guidance using our spiritual tools. We pray for
the people and we pray for ourselves. In the evening we thank the Creator for the
day, for the lessons and for the opportunity to be of service to others. Then we go
to sleep.

Great Spirit, today, show me the power of being gentle.
