A Blessing Creator bestows on us when we look to Him for instruction.
When we gossip, lie, belittle, harbor malice, bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness, anger, cheat, build contempt, for others among the people, and much more, we are not living up to the potential Creator expects of us. He does not give rise to hatred and negativity.
The Creator’s wisdom tells us to help one another grow in kindness, forgiveness, and all positive traits that build Honor, Respect, and good true Wisdom in ourselves. Only then can we grow and be a sound and positive contribution to our families, tribe the community in which we live.
We are watched and listened to. For good or bad, sadly, we will be judged accordingly.
By far we dishonor ourselves with words and actions against other instead of the individual’s we aim our arrows of contempt at.
Truly there is room for justice in our tribal system of government for offenders. But there are offers of second chances also.
Let us learn and grow, rising above personal petty differences.
Let us work to restore Honor not only to ourselves, but also to help others to grow in honor as well. Let us stand tall and the “First People” Creator intended from the very beginning.
