“In many Native American traditions, one member of the tribe will assume the role of “Faith keeper”.

The role of Faith keeper is to remain peaceful and calm, while maintaining spiritual enlightenment and understanding, no matter what the tribe may endure. 

Under extreme conditions, if every single tribe member stumbles into fear, doubt, anxiety, worry and pain, the Faith keeper maintains peace, spirituality and understanding. 

Therefore, the Faith keeper is looked upon as the mainstay to the “I AM” presence of  God, Great Spirit or Creator.” (Anonymous)

Who are the Faith keepers in your life?

We can all benefit from a Faith keeper, especially when feeling stressed or overwhelmed in these days of uncertainty. Often we search outside of ourselves for the answers. Yet, Spiritual truth encourages us to take the road less traveled; the journey within. Each of us has a guiding light, a still small voice that is ever present and as close as our breath. Befriend your personal Faith keeper. Set aside a few minutes in the morning to cultivate a listening presence.

The need to center ourselves in love and renew our spirit in order to love others  is a universal call to wholeness.

Note:  I came to this  quote/photo  this past week by a friend. Her sister sent it to her as an expression of appreciation to her for being a Faith keeper in their family during a recent crisis. Her story left an impression and I wanted to share this with you as well. In an attempt to give proper credit, I searched the web and found the photo and quote on various sites. One site indicated the author was an Elder wished to remain anonymous.
