GRANDFATHER'S PRAYER FOR TODAY.
My Creator, may I always remember, when I cannot find the right words to pray with. All I have to do is look to those who have gone before.
Thank you my Creator for the wisdom of the ancestors!
And may I never forget to PRAY!
A Navajo Grandfather's Prayer
Oh, Great Creator of all that lies before me, I am grateful you have travelled through life with me. Please continue to help me. I wish to follow in your way. I wish to be true to your direction. I wish to travel the road of new life, health and peace. For I know many gifts come to those who follow this road. I am humbled you have not let me travel the lonely roads alone. You have comforted my hurts and problems. Bless my mind this day to be clear and to be able to see things as they truly are. Let my soul be open to your influence. Help me, today to comprehend Mother Earth and the things upon her. Let these things teach me. As I have walked this road, each day has been brighter. As you have asked of me, I will believe, have faith, and look for the things you have for me. And with these things I will bless the lives of my children, grandchildren, my brothers, my sisters, and all my relations.

My Creator, Help me today to find the true meaning of “Walking in Balance”
.THE LAW OF BALANCE.
(Finding a middle way).
“To Walk in Balance” is an old Native American saying. Balance applies to our Body, Mind, Emotions and Spirit and to all levels of our being.
Anything we do, we can underdo or overdo. Our Earth walk can be likened to a pendulum. If our actions or habits swing too far to one side they will inevitably swing an equal amount to the other side. The key is to try to keep the swings either way to a minimum, to find the middle way, “To Walk in Balance”
To find the middle way, the balance point, can be a daunting task, but it must start with action. We can never find a true balance point for ourselves unless we are first willing to take a step forward. “To Walk” first requires us to take a step of faith in anything we do. We will inevitably make mistakes, but this is part of the learning and experience process. But more important in learning, we gain understanding.
A warrior learnt to fire his arrow on target by first making an attempt to hit the target. He would almost certainly be short, too long, or one side or the other of the target. His next attempt would probably be an over correction. But with practise he would learn and hit the target. Isn’t our lives much like that? With practise and experience we learn. Then we can be closer to our personal truths and really learn the meaning of “To Walk in Balance” and to “Walk our Talk”.

GRANDFATHER'S PRAYER FOR TODAY.
May we always remember that to pray together for a common cause is stronger than praying alone! Help us today to pray together for healing for those in need.
To be bound together for a common purpose, whether it is as a family, group, community, or species ensures the survival of the purpose if it is within the law. There are many examples of this. One arrow on its own can easily be broken but several bound together cannot. The United Nations working in unison is another and a classic example of "One heart, one mind, within the law".
When we act with like-minded individuals as a group to pray, manifest, or even to create degrees of control, which we define as evil or black magic, it has an effect. It has to be balanced with greater force praying for the good.
Where the efforts of an individual may equal one unit, the efforts of two praying or healing for a common goal with equal energy will affect the energy of twenty units instead of the sum total of two. With three, the resultant energy explodes further. The longer pure thought (the exclusion of any other thought) of one's desired goal is held in the mind, the more powerful the result. Holding pure thought for an increment in time is the beginning lesson of manifestation.
The controlling regimes of the past and even now use the rallying cry of "To divide is to conquer", for they know the strength of group endeavour. If we are to counteract this we could do no worse than use "The brotherhood of man", as our rallying cry. Not only must mankind fulfil love for the family, community and nation, he must think in wider terms of humanity itself, and so bring the law of Brotherhood into expression.
"Will your actions today benefit all,For brotherhood is a group quality, or will someone or the group suffer or be hurt because of your actions"
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

GRANDFATHERS PRAYER FOR TODAY.

A wise grandmother once told me to forgive the users and takers in the world for they have taught you a lesson not to be used or taken. But she also said “Without compassion forgiveness does not work. Today may I start by forgiving myself?
---------------------------------

Forgiveness.

At this time around the time around the Winter Solstice, Christmas and the New Year there is a natural resonance that is resplendent with the song of Forgiveness. It is a quality of Spirit easily accessed, embodied, activated and experienced. Forgiveness is the key in which the song of life is sung at the Winter Solstice, just as Appreciation is at the time of the Summer Solstice.Forgiveness is, however, not something we do. It is not something we offer to another (nor our own Self). Forgiveness is a state of being, a frequency at which our Soul resonates when Forgiveness sings its song. When we are in the state of Forgiveness we may hold attention upon the presence of another (or our own Self), embracing that person in Forgiveness.When we are in the state of Forgiveness all that we place our attention upon, in a sincere attitude of acknowledgment and responsibility, dissolves in the burst of Love that comes forth from the relinquishment of our guilt, anger, pain, resentment, grudge or debt. From the release of guilt arises the possibility of apology and atonement. When we release resentment the poison it spreads through our entire interaction with the world is drained, leaving the way for understanding to grow. As we forgive the debts owed us, but never paid - be they financial, emotional or obligations - we are able to let go of betrayal and the fear that unless we are paid in full we will suffer hardship, when, in actuality, if someone has owed you (money or whatever) for over a year, and you are still alive and able to make it through another day/week/month, then really, you no longer truly require the indebted asset to survive. You have, somehow, made it. By relinquishing the grudge of debt you not only free the other party from their suffering, but your own suffering is released as well. After all, if that person could have paid you, if they were capable of it, they would have done so. If they are not capable (and I include the capability of conscience in that), they will never pay you anyway... so let it go! At that point, holding a grudge of debt only promotes you as being 'right', and with it, poisoned with mistrust, resentment, anger and pain. And this helps you how?
For Forgiveness to be active in our life does not require that we announce to the persons we hold in Forgiveness that we have done so (though, sometimes, it is appropriate that we do so). Forgiveness does not require that the other person has asked us to forgive them. It is not relevant as to whether the other person forgives us as well. The burden of judgment and resentment that is strung about the neck of us each is of our own concern and choosing. The guilt and judgment we carry we carry in our own heart. Forgiveness allows us the means of releasing this poison when we are sincere in our acknowledgment of culpability and responsibility. Forgiveness does not make 'OK' a wrong, nor is Forgiveness itself the act of atonement that may be required to reinstate balance. It does not let us 'off the hook'. Forgiveness enables us to no longer be crippled with shame and anger, so that we can embark afresh upon a new course in life, a course charted into the vast ocean of Compassion and a greater availability to the
All-That-Is that we call Life.

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."

(Joe Coyhis, Stockbridge-Munsee)

I give thanks to you today My Creator for the wisdom and knowledge available to me at the touch of a button. But never let me forget what has gone before.

Interesting Facts about Ancestors

Each person starts with two parents

They have between them 8 Grandparents.

If you go back about 200yrs there are 1000 plus ancestors who are connected through ones D.N.A.

If you count back less than 600 years there are approximately 537,000,000(537 million) ancestors connected to you.

Conclusion;- with the worlds population as it was 600years you can trace your lineage through your D.N.A. to a large proportion of the humans alive then.

So next time you call on the ancestors for help do not get trampled in the rush!

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy.

It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.

My Creator, I thank you for all the remembering

dreams, for they help me dream of my tomorrows.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




I am an old woman now. The buffaloes and black-tail deer are gone, and our Indian ways are almost gone. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I ever lived them.

My little son grew up in the white man's school. He can read books, and he owns cattle and has a farm. He is a leader among our Hidatsa people, helping teach them to follow the white man's road.

He is kind to me. We no longer live in an earth lodge, but in a house with chimneys, and my son's wife cooks by a shove.

But for me, I cannot forget our old ways.

Often in summer I rise at daybreak and steal out to the corn fields, and as I hoe the corn I sing to it, as we did when I was young. No one cares for our corn songs now.

Sometimes in the evening I sit, looking out on the big Missouri. The sun sets, and dusk steals over the water. In the shadows I see again to see our Indian village, with smoke curling upward from the earth lodges, and in the river's roar I hear the yells of the warriors, and the laughter of little children of old.

It is but an old woman's dream. Then I see but shadows and hear only the roar of the river, and tears come into my eyes. Our Indian life, I know, is gone forever.

My father, you have made promises to me and my children. If the promises had been made by person of no standing, I should not be surprised to see his promises fail. But you, who are so great in riches and power, I am astonished that I do not see your promises fulfilled!

I would have been better pleased if you had never made such promises, than that you should have made them and not performed them ...

May we always remember that whatever our beliefs are, wherever we live on this planet,and whoever our neighbours are.
We are all part of the human family and
ALL ONE TRIBE

Indigenous Peoples are a significant and important portion of humanity. Their heritage, their ways of life, their stewardship of this planet, and their cosmological insights are an invaluable treasure house for us all.
The word Indigenous has many meanings. In every region of the world, many different cultural groups live together and interact, but not all of these groups are considered indigenous or inherent to their particular geographic area. In fact, it is only in the face of a collective or shared sense of identity that the term indigenous peoples have been internationally recognized.
Indigenous Peoples live in every region of the world. They live in climates ranging from Arctic cold to Amazon heat, and often claim a deep connection to their lands and natural environments. For many indigenous peoples, the natural world is a valued source of food, health, spirituality and identity. Land is both a critical resource that sustains life and a major cause of struggle and even death.
Each indigenous culture is distinct and unique. While many peoples may express similar worldviews and a common indigenous identity, their cultures are nonetheless based on different histories, environments, and creative spirits.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms the inherent dignity, equality, and inalienable rights of all members of the human family. The rights of all members of indigenous populations are included in this declaration. However, Indigenous Peoples also have rights as distinct cultural groups or nations.
"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect." - Chief Seattle

GRANDFATHER’S PRAYER FOR TODAY.

My Creator, may we all remember that Nature has, is and always will be our greatest teacher!



I was born in Nature's wide domain! The trees were all that sheltered my infant limbs, the blue heavens all that covered me. I am one of Nature's children. I have always admired her. She shall be my glory: her features, her robes, and the wreath about her brow, the seasons, her stately oaks, and the evergreen - her hair, ringlets of earth - all contribute to my enduring love of her.

And wherever I see her, emotions of pleasure roll in my breast, and swell and burst like waves on the shores of the ocean, in prayer and praise to Him who has placed me in her hand, It is thought great to be born in palaces, surrounded with wealth - but to be born in Nature's wide domain is greater still !

I would much more glory in this birthplace, with the broad canopy of heaven above me, and the giant arms of the forest trees for my shelter, than to be born in palaces of marble, studded with pillars of gold! Nature will be Nature still, while palaces shall decay and fall in ruins.

Yes, Niagara will be Niagara a thousand years hence! The rainbow, a wreath over her brow, shall continue as long as the sun and the flowering of the river - while the work of art, however carefully protected and preserved, shall fade and crumble into dust!
