Don’t Ever Forget Where You Came From

Living your life alongside your ancestors

Spirit, teach me how to hear the blessings of my ancestors so I don’t forget where I came from and what I’m made of.

How many of you had read The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck? There is a statement he made,

How can we live without our lives? How will we know it’s us without our past?

There is so much truth to this. You cannot move forward without knowing what brought you to the here and now.

Maybe it’s listening to the stories of your grandparents and parents. Maybe it’s recalling the stories of your past.

The ultimate question is, “who are you?” No. Really. Who are you? What made you the version of yourself today? This goes beyond heritage and ethnicity. It embraces characteristics, morals, and values.
