GRANDFATHERS PRAYER FOR TODAY.
My Creator, help me today to set a good example to everyone I meet, especially the children
It is said what we do today, affects seven generations into the future. If this is true we are feeling the effects of what happened seven generations in the past. We can readily see the world wars and conflicts of the past affect us. We are also affected by the actions our ancestors did in the past. These are the bad things as well as good things. Part of the realization of this enables us to feel honored and humble that we can learn from past mistakes and take on the responsibility of being a good example to others, by learning and understanding from these mistakes. I have met many that are quick to lay blame for the way they are on Karma, as if it were an excuse for the situation they are in. Karma lies in the law of cause and effect. We can change our so-called Karma by recognizing the effect and having the courage to find the cause. If not we pass it onto the next generations.
When we are born, we start with a beautiful empty mind ready to be given our beliefs, attitudes, habits and expectations. Most of our true learning comes from watching the actions of others. As we watch our family or relatives, whatever their actions and values are, so will be the children's values and acts. If we see our family shouting, arguing and hateful, so will it be for the children. The cycle of life -- baby, youth, adult and Elder -- is all connected. If the older ones have good values, it will be connected to the children.
May we all set a good example for the generations yet unborn.
