SMOKE ON THE WIND

January 15, 2010 Rev. Thomas “Dancing Feather” Ebbing 0 min read

Wow! Saturday as I awoke and looked out my bedroom window, I could see the ground was covered with a beautiful blanket of snow. I still get excited as I did as a young boy, building snowmen and going sledding with my buddies.

Oh what wonderful memories I have of those precious moments. God gives each and every one of us those special moments. All we need to do is ask and have faith and there they are.

Let’s you and I take time out now to connect our spirits through prayer and to be in the moment.

Oh, and just one more thing. Keep a lookout for the snowballs that some of us love to sling. Life is kind of like that at times. We need to know when to duck and when to sling. Now, let’s pray and sing.

From My Heart,

Thank you to our community news sponsors!
