Elder's Meditation of the Day - September 21
"Everything is laid out for you. Your path is straight ahead
of you. Sometimes it's invisible but it's there. You may not
know where it's going, but still you have to follow that path.
It's the path to the Creator. That's the only path there is."
-- Leon Shenandoah, ONONDAGA
Everything on the earth has a purpose and a reason for its existence. Every human
being is a warrior and every warrior has a song written in his/her heart and that song
must be sung or the soul forever remains restless. This song is always about serving
the Great Spirit and helping the people. This song is always sung for the people. Many
times I need to learn much about the difficulties of life. I need to know this, so I must
experience it. Then I can be of use to the people. Because I am experiencing difficulty
does not mean I have left the path or that I have done something wrong. It means I'm
doing the will of the Great Spirit during these times of testing. I need to pray constantly
to keep a good attitude.
Great Spirit, this I know - You will never leave me, only my doubting makes it seem like
You do. This I know - Your love is always dependable, only my doubting makes it seem
like You don't. Today remove the doubts from my belief system and allow me to stand
straight and see You with straight eyes. |
