GRANDFATHER'S PRAYER FOR TODAY.
My Creator, many years ago, when I was an arrogant, know it all young warrior I was given so many lessons to learn that I was confused and did not know where to turn. I prayed to you and you put in my path a wise grandmother who said to me "No lesson is left unlearned, it just need a little more understanding” she also said "Take each lesson into your heart and you will find the reason for it, you may not find the answer, but you will be able to reason it out in a righteous way and see the justice for having the lesson.”
My Creator, I thank you for these words, for doing this taught me humility but above all gratitude for having lessons, for they help me to grow in a just way.
Then there were times I would ask a certain kind of question and receive no immediate response. Instead he would remain motionless, and after a period of silence, he would say, "There is a period in the life of every person in which there is foolishness. When this period passes some people will grow up, remembering and using what they were told. For this we have a saying, 'When you have had enough foolishness, then you become knowledgeable and know your mistakes.' There are others who never go beyond this first stage; they remain foolish for the rest of their lives. To those people we say, 'Your foolishness will accompany you to your old age.'"
