Warriors, it is important that we make it our goal to be imitators of our Great Chief and Captain. Not as clones who have no choice, but as those who have been chosen as dearly loved children. We are a family. Let us not allow any unwholesome talk to come out of our mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs. If we treat others in this way, we will be honoring our traditions and ancestors as well as honoring our Great Chief and Captain. Let us think how we can encourage one another.

If someone offends us, then let us ask Creator Yahweh to fill us with Spirit power to be able to see that person in the way he sees them, for he sees their hearts. Let us ask him to show us our brother and sister’s true heart need. Many times we will need to ask for forgiveness for our anger and unwholesome thoughts. Sometimes we will need to ask the person for forgiveness. Always we must ask our Great Chief and Captain to help us forgive those who have wronged us. This one thing will help us to stay moving forward on the Beauty Way.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Ephesians 4:29-5:2. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
