Life

A long time ago in a Cherokee village, a little boy asked his grandfather to tell him a story.

The grandfather began, "inside of me there is a fierce battle. There are two wolves and they are constantly fighting, one trying to overthrow the other. One wolf is greedy, he is conniving , he wants everything for himself. He has only hatred in his heart - he is evil. The other wolf is generous, benevolent, kind. He is gracious, loving - he is good. These two wolves live inside of me, and everybody else too! They even live in you. The wolves are both strong and they are always fighting, they never rest!"

Then the little boy asked "so which one is going to win?"

The old man looked at his grandson's innocent face and simply replied "the one that you feed."



This was part of the sermon at church yesterday...the msg was we have to live the life we have been given before it's taken away....choices along the way are just pieces of the puzzle.
