Warriors, it is important that we respect those among our people who work hard in serving our Creator Yahweh and who are over us as leaders. Hold them in highest regard because of their work. Let us live in peace with one another and accept admonishment from our leaders (when it comes) as words of wisdom. Let us listen well when they warn of error and kindly exhort us of wrong doing.

Then, in turn, I urge you brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

We are a family! Let us work diligently to gather provision and share with those in need. Let us encourage one another to fly like eagles above the cares of this world. This is a precious gift we can give…one of respect and honor…first to our Great Chief and Captain and then to one another.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
