GRANDFATHER’S PRAYER FOR TODAY.
My Creator may help me to keep an open mind and loving heart and when I am ready
“Teach Me”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When we are young we have a tendency to think we know everything and take the view that those older than ourselves are just “old fogies”. But sometimes we never change and think when we are older we know everything and get set in our ways.
When the realisation comes that we do not know everything we become “teachable”. There is a lot of truth in the old saying, “when the student is ready the teacher appears”. The ancestors are always ready to help and to teach, but we can only hear them when we show humility, respect and are ready to listen. We are then ready for the spiritual lessons to help us grow.
"When you get older and you are ready, your ancestors will show up to guide you."
