Our Elders shouldn’t have to ask for help. We should be asking them, how can we help you!

Woman's Prayer

Great Spirit, I am Mother.
I was made by You so that the image of Your love
Could be brought into existence.
May I always carry with me
The sacredness of this honor.

Creator, I am Daughter.
I am the learner of the Traditions.
May I carry them forward
So that the Elders and Ancestors
Will be remembered for all time.

Maker-Of-All-Things, I am Sister.
Through me, may my brothers be shown
The manner in which I am to be respected.
May I join with my sisters in strength and power as a Healing Shield
So that they will no longer bear the stain of abuse.

Kichi Niwaskw, I am Committed Partner:
One who shares her spirit,
But is wise to remember never to give it away,
Lest it become lost,
And the two become less than one.

I am Woman.
Hear me.
Woliwon.........Aho!

Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 18
"Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit."
-- Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa), SANTEE SIOUX

Be still and know. All new learnings, all ideas about new things, creativity, daydreaming and mental effectiveness come to those who learn about silence. All warriors know about the power of silence. All Elders know about stillness. Be still and know God. Meditation is about the place of silence. This is the place to hear God's voice. We can find tremendous amounts of knowledge in the place of silence. This is the sacred place of God.

Prayer: Great Spirit, teach me the power of silence.

Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 14
"It is a native tradition to sit in a circle and talk-to share what is in your heart."
------- John Peters (Slow Turtle), WAMPANOAG

The talking circle is also a listening circle. The talking circle allows one person to talk at a time for as long as they need to talk. So much can be gained by listening. Is it a coincidence that the Creator gave us one mouth and two ears? The power of the circle allows the heart to be shared with each other. What we share with each other also heals each other. When we talk about our pain in the circle, it is distributed to the circle, and we are free of the pain. The talking circle works because when the people form a circle, the Great Mystery is in the center.
My Creator, give me the courage to share, and the courage to listen.

Awesome morning at the Bridge Church ❣️
I prayed the name of Jesus over all my families and their families.
I prayed the name over my children and grandchildren ❣️
Because I have faith that speaking the Words out loud that prayers are answered as I pray. And as my grandmother prayed over me and so did my mom I carried those prayers with me for praying over my family. I pass the torch to my daughter who is a believer that she will continue praying over our family after I'm done here on earth. Good night and God bless y'all 💞

26 years ago my dad went to be with Jesus the night before Thanksgiving. Instead of having a Thanksgiving meal, we were preparing for a funeral. But I keep the Spirit of his way of celebrating with my native foods, shared with friends and family, and remember his love he had so very much for his family! 4 years later my mom went to join him. I miss you mom and daddy! But I'm so thankful that God gave me such wonderful parents!
