Brother ,no message written, just the smokes. LOL, of course the smokes are updated, but the matches are original time frame. Thank you for your service. actually carried my smokes in the Bush in the 80s just for keeping traditions going. Godspeed and my Travel days are behind me now.
Traditions would not be traditions if they did not grow corn.
Now there is massive effort to destroy traditions, and settle for dayum GMO corn.
I aint gonna bite.
I am sure when you speak the wisdom and EXPERIENCE of tradition, that you are finding some ready ears to hear.
Amazingly, there are some young folks who LOVE to hear about these things, and to walk them out. Practical application.
Someday when all the fake stuff fails, guess what will still remain. We will do what we can without a doubt, to preserve tradition.
ThanQ for what you impart. This is a vital thing, brother.
Godspeed.
Exactly Brother, Battle songs and Cadences were created to motivate the Troops. I am surprised they have not removed Hail oh Hail infantry as it does mention God in it. maybe they have and I am not aware of this.
I totally agree with a massive move to remove Traditions and Cultures, what makes the world interesting are the many different Cultures. can you imagine a world where every tree looked the same. It would soon become boring.
Brother, the Wisdom comes from God and what God shares. While it may appear I have Wisdom, I am in reality just the beneficiary of Gods Wisdom that was shared with me. I have informed many people that I ask God to guide my path and share his wisdom with me. Ask my friends if I ever stated anything wise, they will say yes, that is from God, That is proof that God exists and prayer really works. Important is only to be Spiritually Connected with God. It is for us to decide what type of relationship we want, that is where Free will comes in.
Traditions with Moral Values are Important, Nobody is perfect ad will make mistakes, what is important is how one handles the mistakes, does one carry on and keep making them, or does correct them and learn from them. One can run from their mistakes, one can not run away from oneself.
I agree about the young people. teach them to reconnect with the Creation, they are part of it as it is part of them, as we have the same Creator. reminds me of this old saying.
Grown men can learn from very little children, for the hearts of little children are pure, therefore the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss.
I agree with keeping the traditions, so important. Thanksgiving a time to give Thanks to God for all our Blessings, Christmas about Jesus and well being for all. And Easter about the sacrifice Jesus brought forth so we all may find salvation.
Brother all the Thanks go to God. and all the Blessings God has placed in my life, I am just a simple person as we sing in one of our prayer songs.
Thank you and Godspeed to you also, will be praying for all those in harms way, the children and all the people, and a special Thanks to all those who are in harms way and their families.
It's like watching some of the vids of a very powerful tradition of the Maori people. The "Haka". Especially when you hear them speak of this meaning of this ceremonial dance. Whew!
It will not be sufficient words to offer my appreciation for what God has given you.
And yes, for what He has given me and gives me to do i am always grateful (and surprised) that He would use this rather dinged up vessel. Amen?
Thank God that we are not alone in this, but many of US, more than the [DS] would want anyone to know: together!
Many hands make short the work.
Yes, let us pray. This for those at the tip of the spear, and their loved ones. The operators as well as the victims, those freed and those yet to be freed. For those who know and cannot sleep.
Thank You, Jehovah Rapha! Jehovah Nissi! Christ Jesus!
