A Cherokee Blessing:
"May the warm winds of Heaven blow softly on your home, and the Great Spirit bless all who enter there. May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows, and may the rainbow always touch your shoulder."

One thing that I find so cool is the fact that many of the Cherokee people accepted our Lord as the one true God. Around 1801, Christian missionaries came to the Cherokee people. The Christian missionaries were well accepted among the Cherokee because they didn't push their religion on the Cherokee Tribe; they lived and worked with them and shared the Gospel by example. During the Trail of Tears, the missionaries were right there with the Cherokee people as they endured the hardship of that journey. Thus many Cherokee came to be Christians. And even though many of the Cherokee became Christians, they still respected the beliefs and customs of their people. God truly worked among these people.

Cherokee Proverb

"Creator gave you two ears and one mouth so that you can listen twice as much as you speak."

I have been thinking alot about this proverb recently, and it is so true. God (the Creator) created us with:
Two eyes: that we may see things in perspective.
Two ears: that we may hear what others have to say.
One mouth: that we may not speak more than we have to.
Two hands: that we may be hard workers
Two feet: so that we may move about and be active.

God definitely had a plan when He created us... Romans 10:15 reads, "How beautiful are the feet of those who spread the Gospel and share the good news." God also commands us in Mark 16:15, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to everyone."
