I’m sure many of us have heard this old tale: The Native Americans believe there are two wolves living within each of us.
One wolf feeds on evil things: pride, selfishness, gossip, anger, judgment, and lust. We’d call these things, “sin.”
The other wolf feeds on good things: patience, humility, forgiveness, kindness, and love.
The question is, “Which wolf wins?”

The one we feed.

The heated climate in America today has made it too easy to feed that negative wolf within; to be judgmental; to feel frustrated; to loathe those who disagree with us.
That evil wolf wants to consume our unity and inner peace. Too often, it seems, it does.
Which is why the Lord invites us to choose a different path today; to feed that good wolf instead.
The more we do, the happier we – and everyone else around us – will be.
