January 31 - Daily Feast
Something to look forward to gives us reason to get up in the morning. It may be no more than watching the sun lay long shadows across the land, or enjoying the aroma of coffee and the sound of bacon sizzling in the skillet. Life's little pleasures give us greater compassion and the ability to comfort and to be comforted. It is a lonely road that does not have time for the daily joys that are so common but so enlivening.

Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 31
"In sharing, in loving all and everything, one person naturally found a due portion of the thing they sought, while in fear, the other found the need for conquest."
--Chief Luther Standing Bear, SIOUX
There are two systems of thought that are available for us to choose from. One is the love-thought system and the other is the fear-thought system. If we choose love, we will see the laws, principles and values of the Creator. If we choose fear, the results will be so paralyzing that it will cause us to take over and not rely on the Great Spirit. The fear-thought system will automatically cause attack, conflict, and need to control others. The love-thought system seeks peace of mind, unity and causes us to be love seekers.
Great Spirit, today let me see only love.

THINK ON THESE THINGS
by Joyce Sequichie Hifler
We smile in remembrance when the light touch of something unseen touches our spirits. Forgotten for a brief time are the familiar fragrances, the special scent of a gardenia, a warm sunbeam or strain of music.
How rich we are in memories. What a wealth of excellence we can take from the less important -- that may one day be just as important. We can allow those old dead unhappy thoughts to dissolve, leaving only the cream, only the secret hidden things in our hearts to smile about. Certainly, there were some unhappy and hard times, but how do they compare with the good ones?
