Elder's Meditation of the Day - July 7
"I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more."
--Chief Joseph, NEZ PERCE

We are as sick as our secrets. Our ego takes over control of our lives and when that happens our minds get very sick. Then we hurt people and our minds will always justify our actions. Our minds will give us rationalization and excuses that we are justified in doing what we are doing.

My Creator, Let me live today with an open heart. Let me realize to be vulnerable is a strength, not a weakness. Let me realize the power of an open heart. Let me be available to truth. If I get into trouble, let me hear the whisper of your guidance. Let me make heart decisions and let my head catch up to that decision.

Have a great day

Amen sister!! Very good post, and so true I believe. My head is running to catch up with my heart but it's been so out of shape it's quite out of practice.

Many hugs and hope too,
Tammie
