The legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage

 

A Cherokee father takes his son into the forest,

blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required

to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove

the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine

through it.  He cannot cry out for help to anyone. 

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.

 

He cannot tell the other boys of this experience,

because each lad must come into manhood on his

own.

 

The boy is naturally terrified.  He can hear all kinds

of noises.  Wild beasts must surely be all around

him.  Maybe even some human might do him harm,

but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It

would be the only way he could become a man! 

Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and

he removed his blindfold.

 

It was then that he discovered his father sitting on

the stump next to him.  He had been at watch the

entire night, protecting his son from harm.

 

We, too, are never alone.  Even when we don't

know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the

stump beside us.  When trouble comes, all we have

to do is reach out to Him.

 

Moral of the story:

Just because you can't see God,

Doesn't mean He is not there.

"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
