February 24 - Daily Feast (WEDNESDAY)

February 24 - Daily Feast Let us walk down the lane a little way to where the woods begin. There is not much activity here on a cold winter day, but the quiet and solitude are beautiful and comforting. The silence will be short-lived because spring is working beneath the crusty ground. In a few weeks the animals will be coming out of hibernation and the birds will be migrating. Now is the time to enjoy the last of winter's activities. There will be more cold and more snow, but it doesn't last as long and spring beckons with beautiful suggestions of color and mellow days. ~ Earlier than the sun appears upon the hills, he gives thanks for his protection during the night. ~ CORNPLANT - SENECA CHIEF, 1791 "A Cherokee Feast of Days, Volume II" by Joyce Sequichie Hifler *<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>* Elder's Meditation of the Day - February 24 "But each of us must find out for himself or herself what their gift is, so that they can use it in their life." --Jimmy Jackson, OJIBWAY The old people say, everyone has a song to sing. This song is the reason we are on this earth. When we are doing what we came on this earth to do, we know true happiness. How will we know our song? Pray. Ask the Great Mystery, "What is it you want me to do during my stay on earth?" Ask. He will tell you. He will even help you develop yourself to accomplish His mission. Great Spirit, help me find my song and let me sing it. *<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>* 'THINK on THESE THINGS' By Joyce Sequichie Hifler There comes a time when we have to turn a firm and deaf ear to those people who have no other intention than to disturb our peace of mind. There comes a time when we have to turn ourselves about in our very tracks and ignore the bitter complaining voice of experience. There comes a time when we have to get angry with ourselves for allowing bad to become worse when there is Someone bigger than we are who can handle everything. There comes a time when we have to make a decision and to be so firm that it leaves no doubt in our minds that we know what we must do - and then do it. There comes a time when we have to hear music and feel peace, or we have no foundation for living. There comes a time when we must learn to appreciate and be thankful or lose all that matters to us. There comes a time when we recognize the many faces of God as true blessings and give thanks. *<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>*<<<=-=>>>* Available online!
