  • Some things translate and then some things don't.
    This is one of those cases where there is no direct translation.
    But how do you say something as important as this?
    Maybe you can't. But the takeaway translates.
    The phrase in our language means so much more than "Love".
    It's loving people anyway. It's following someone who is walking in beauty. Because you glory in their existence.

    In the 70s I lived on the Reservation. Mostly at Cameron. It was the only time in my life I enjoyed going to school. I still didn't like school. But the long bus ride to and from with my amazing Navajo friends were the best days of my life. I was 15, my buddies would take me all over the place to see things most white people would ever see. We'd catch up some horses and ride for days. When we moved away, it broke my heart. Many many years later I stopped into the trading post and one of the ladies there remembered my parents and me. It was wonderful. I get that feeling when I watch this wonderful Man's teachings. Like going home.

    The most accurate way to translate the Biblical commandment “honor your father and your mother” is ‘give glory to your father and your mother’; something that I take very seriously. I’ve been an orphan for 17 years, but my mother-in-law lives with us, and I treat her as I would my own parents. And she will never be put out of our home but will die here. This is the way of my people, and my family.

      I'm truly sorry to hear of the loss of your parents and offer my heartfelt condolences.
      I believe that you can have a mother, father, sibling, cousin, etc. in other ways than just through blood. Anyone who serves (acts) in that role, whether they be a blood relative or not, is just as good as one and may be called as such.
      It's beautiful to see a culture that cares for their elders. May you and your family, blood or no, always be blessed. 💯👍

    "Whither thou goest, I will go, whither thou lodgest, I will lodge, thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." Whether in the ancient Middle East or here in the Southwest, the Holy People reach out after their children to give them the truths of love and walking in beauty.

    As I listened to your explanation of the word love it reminded me of how devalued the word has become in our current usage. We tend to say that we love all sorts of things but listening to my grandparents and their old stories I realized that love was a very sacred thing. As you explained it involves admiration, respect, appreciation, and very profound fondness and understanding. Perhaps even something you would die for.

      I genuinely LOVE every soul in existence. I don't know, nor comprehend conditional love. I've felt all types of love and the truest, all encompassing, glorying in my existence, has been immensely rare. So much so, that as a child, I swore to myself and my higher power, that I would never let anyone I encounter feel anything but unconditional love from me. I never wanted anyone to feel the sadness I felt in my heart from mistreatment. My mother often told me, "You make it so hard to love you!"
      I was blessed by this however, because I was raised by my unfathomably incredible father. 🙌🏽 Amongst MANY valuable lessons, He taught me the real meaning of love and how important and easy it is to love, EVERYONE!
      I was later blessed with a son whom has Down syndrome and a plethora of K9 besties. Each of whom have showed me I'm actually VERY easy to love.
      My mother never once told me, "I love you." With a period. It's always been followed by, "but".
      So, to anyone reading this, I LOVE YOU WITH NO BUTS! 💋💜🤟🏽

    Love, like hate, is learned. There are certain qualities which demonstrate love: sharing from our need as freely as we give from our surplus, listening more than speaking, learning from others' failures and successes, putting giving freely ahead of receiving, but always accept gifts with humility and demonstrated gratitude Do not seek revenge, but seek an end to vengeance, as no one ever feels like they "got even" with someone who has offended. Looking with open eyes at intent rather than perceived intent. And recognize that we cannot always discern the difference until later. We are neither ugly nor beautiful each moment of our lives. But we are all beautiful, and ugly, at times. All is for our humbling, and our edification in order to make us better five-fingered beings. It has taken me over 70 years to come to these realizations. Thank you, Grandfather Wally, my brother. May you, and all your people be greatly blessed, and recognize the responsibilities that come with the blessings.

  • @jameslipke354

    To me the word ugly has everything to do with your character and the way you treat people, not your physical appearance. No matter how pretty or handsome a person may be, if they're ugly on the inside, it shows who they truly are. It's sad really; being ugly on the inside is a personal choice. No one has to be that way, and none of us know how to put a paper bag over an ugly personality. Thank you Grandfather Wally! I enjoy learning from you so very much.❤

    Wow ❣️ That so touching 🥰 We should all live by that version of love ❤️ The only time I heard anything close was in Bible college, it was when we learned God's perfect love, called agape love or unconditional love!! We as humans have a more conditional type love usually., A love based on others actions etc.But in perfect love none of that matters. We are loved and should love others always and fully.. But your definition is beautiful, to Glory in ones existence ❣️ 🙋🏻‍♀️
