Veteran’s Day was
yesterday and most of the country found beautiful ways to show respect and
support for those that have served and continue to serve our country. We are,
indeed, a blessed country with citizens that know how to be grateful for what
they have. Living in this great country is a privilege and honor and is not to
be taken lightly. It would behoove each of us to remember that Truth every
single morning.
In my opinion, there
is no greater honor to have then to live in a country where there is respect
for a divine being that created absolutely everything. To know this is to see
the connection we have with all things – human and nonhuman! What a marvelous
realization that we are part of something greater then what we human beings can
imagine. To know we are all made from one divine source certainly offers us the
opportunity to realize that what we think, say and do has an effect on
everything around us.
There is an old
story about a Grandfather telling his grandson about the two wolves that live
inside each of us that are vying for position. The Grandfather describes the
one wolf inside is angry and full of greed; it harbors resentment and
bitterness while the other wolf embodies love, compassion and clarity. The
grandson asked the Grandfather, “Which wolf wins?” and the Grandfather says,
“The one you feed.”
The question is, “what
wolf do you choose to feed, and what are some choices you can make
today to feed that one?” If each of us would consider those questions every
day, this nation would become richer, more prosperous, and more harmonious in
all ways.
