Thoughts on today's Elder Meditation...

"A man should rely on his own resources; the one who so trains himself is ready for any emergency."

-- Oral Tradition, OMAHA

Man is designed to function independently and to rely on the Creator for his resources. If we build our relationship with the Great Spirit, we are ready when emergencies occur. We need to build a trusting relationship with the Creator. We do this by constantly talking with the Creator. It's good to talk to Him many times a day. Then we will realize, even though we can't see Him, that He is always with us and He is ready to respond to our requests.


God, let me remember to talk to You many times today.

Sometimes it is hard for me to be in a place where I can "constantly" talk with the Creator. Being a working mother & wife as many women are nowadays makes it difficult to take a break from the "Business" of life.
During the Winter months I cannot physically ground & connect with the Great Spirit as I enjoy doing in my gardens during Spring, Summer & Fall. So, it is very important for me to be more conscious of remembering to connect.
It is important to take those breaks; pause, breathe, ground & pray. I find myself needing to do this more often during this stressful time of year and it helps. Connecting with the Great Spirit several times throughout the day keeps me from loosing my temper, or from being frustrated or inpatient with others.
Connecting with the Great Spirit on a regular basis keeps me happy, calm, fulfilled. A better Mother, Wife, Daughter & Friend.
