Elder's Meditation - October 22

"Growth is a painful process."
--Wilma Mankiller, CHEROKEE


Whenever we grow, we usually need to let go of emotional attachments. Letting go can be painful. Sometimes growth allows us to deal with fear. All fear can fit into two categories: one, we're going to lose something we have, and two, we're not going to get something we want. Both of these categories can cause pain. The best way to grow is to pray to the Great Spirit and ask Him to guide and protect us. All growth is guided by God.

My Creator, guide my growth today and give me Your love and courage to help my pain.

That caught my eye this morning as an interesting thought. As usual, these elders just may be on the something.

I like this one too. It helps me to be less afraid of the pain underlying growth.
Thanks again for sharing these thoughts...They help...
Shalom!
