SMOKE ON THE WIND

January 30, 2008 Rev. Thomas Dancing Feather Ebbing 0 min read

Grandfather (God), we welcome You into our hearts, and may our minds be always on thoughts of Your divine love. You guide us and give us strength so that we can do things in a good way here on Mother Earth, as long as You remain close and we keep You in our hearts.

It comes to mind the words taught to us by Jesus: Thy kingdom come, on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Wow!

God help us all.

Earth, we have a problem.

I pray we can all work together to fix it and bring peace on Earth. Good God, would that be Heaven or what?

God is often referred to as Grandfather by Native American Indians.

Why?

Because a grandfather loves us unconditionally, like Jesus.

Rev. Thomas Dancing Feather Ebbing
