But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 1 Timothy 6:9-11 NASB Sunday blessings friend
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 1 Timothy 6:17-18 ESV
May your cup of happiness be filled, your path always bright, and you hear always light start making your dreams come true in 2025. Good Morning Friend
Sacred Pipes Mean Way More Than Peace for Native Americans
This pipe bowl and stem, circa 1885, is believed to have belonged to the Ojibwe Indians who lived mainly in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Ontario, Canada. Public Domain
Too many Lakota traditionalists and spiritual practitioners, the pipe is the very symbol of life itself
because it represents the interconnectivity describe in the prayer "Mitakuye Oyasin," or "All My Relatives." The bowl is usually made of stone and represents the Earth, and the stem is of ash wood and represents all that lives on the Earth. Anyone who carries a pipe keeps the two components apart until it is used for prayer or ceremony. When the two parts are fitted together, the the Earth and all who live on it are connected. is a powerful moment that should be filled with humility and prayer. When the prayer and the ceremony are completed, the two components are separated out of respect.
