GRANDFATHERS PRAYER FOR TODAY
My Creator, at this time of the year help me to give honour
and gratitude for all I receive. May the true spirit of giving and receiving abound.
The Original peoples honour the usefulness of everything in life. Everything has a mission or purpose to serve the whole, even the material things in our world that some may feel unnecessary. It is the degree of usefulness that determines its purpose.
Plastic bottles and containers may seem unnecessary and potential pollutants to us but to others in the world they can be a life giving container to carry water in. Everything that has a use is serving mankind in some way. "One man's trash, is another's treasure".
We should use everything we have until it is worn out, or used for another purpose. If we have no more use for it it should be passed on to another who can find a use for it or re-cycled.
This is part of the give-away.We need to also understand the meaning of travelling light and only keeping what we need to survive and to hoard gives no honour to the objects we do not need. When use our material things to serve a purpose, we have honoured the mission of that tool or object.
This concept is not unlike our need to feel useful, to find a place in life, and to have a sense of purpose. The relationship between having tools and being tools helps to increase our potential. Having beautiful things and walking in beauty, and using our resources for the highest good can transform our lives, becoming our true power and serving the whole.
