Good Sunday Afternoon Everyone:

 

Today's story is about a Cherokee Indian legend that has

been passed down from many years ago. Think about how

it is true today with 

 

 

Cherokee Indian Legend

 

 

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? 

 

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him

alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove

the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He 

cannot cry out for help to anyone. 

 

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. 

 

He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each

lad must come into manhood on his own. 

 

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild

beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might

do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, 

but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only 

way he could become a man!Finally, after a horrific night the sun 

appeared and he removed his blindfold. 

 

It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next

to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son 

from harm.

 

We, too, are never alone. 

 

Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, Sitting on 

the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach 

out to Him. 

 

Moral of the story: 

Just because you can't see God,

Doesn't mean He is not there. 

"For we walk by faith, not by sight."

 

May God Bless YOU and YOURS!

 

 

Much love.

 

Larry
