   A group of Cherokee children had gathered around their grandfather. They were filled with excitement and curiousity. That day there had been a quite tumultuous conflict between two adults and their grandfather was called to mediate. The children were eager to hear what he had to say about it.
   One of the children asked the question that puzzles him... "Grandfather, why do people fight?". "Well" the old man replies "we all have two wolves inside us, you see. They are in our chest. And these wolves are constantly fighting each other". The eyes of the children have grown big by now. "In our chests too, grandfather?" asks another child. "And in your chest too?" asks a third one. He nods, "yes, in my chest too". He surely has their attention now. Grandfather continues. "There is a white wolf and a black wolf. The black wolf is filled with fear, anger, envy, jealousy, greed, and arrogance. The white wolf is filled with peace, love, hope, courage, humility, compassion, and faith. They battle constantly". Then he stops. It's the child that asked the initial question that can't handle the tension anymore. "But grandfather, which wolf wins?". The old Cherokee simply replies, "the one that we feed".




Philippians 4:6-8

New Living Translation (NLT)

6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
