We Do Recover

Elder's Meditation of the Day

"If the Great Spirit wanted men to stay in one place He would make the world stand still; but He made it to always change..." — Chief Flying Hawk, OGLALA SIOUX

The Elders tell us change occurs in two directions. They say, "That which is built is constantly being destroyed; that which is loose is being used to build the new." In other words, change is constantly going on. Many times we hear people say, "I hate change." Does it make sense that the Great Spirit would design people to hate it? The Great Spirit designed people with change abilities such as visioning, imagery and imagination. Maybe we need to learn to use these tools and then we'll look forward to change.

Great Spirit, today, let me see the harmony of Yours, truly changing world.

Loved this when I read it. Today I do embrace change but often slow these days to follow the thought with action.

It gave me pause for thought when I read about how the world is ever moving and when I am standing still, life is passing me by.

We can see the change in the Seasons and marvel at God's handy work and forget that He also made us and we are under His care and no matter what we go through, He is there.

Change, is inevitable. I have to remember that I am not young any more and not put so many expectations on myself.

I have to do the do things and can't just sit back and wait for things to happen. I have to do my part. I know that when I stop, it is hard to get going again.
