Faith In Action

Over the weekend I was able to see my old pastor, Tiger Pennington, at a fundraiser for GraceNow and HealthNow, a local foodbank and health care center.

His message was basically "Faith in action is a response to grace."

Isn't it funny that you don't realize how much you miss someone until you see them again?

I picked this up from Eastside Farm Chronicles and want to keep it where I can get back to it, so here goes.

The Wolves Inside You

A Parable

An elder Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."

"This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too", he added.

The Grandchildren thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied... "The one you feed."
