There is a story of a man who stood before God, his heart breaking from the pain and injustice of the world. . . “Dear God,” he cried out, “look at all the suffering, the anguish, and the distress in the world. Why don’t you send help?

And God responded. . . . I did send help. I sent you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

INDIAN WISDOM

An Indian grandfather told his grandson that there is a battle between two wolves that live within you.

“One is evil and has anger, envy, sorrow, regrets, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, superiority, and ego.

The other wolf is good and has joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,empathy, generosity, faith, courage, honor and integrity.”

The grandson asked his grandfather, “Which one wins?”

The old Indian simply replied, “The one you feed.”
