A Gathering of Eagles Pow Wow

What a wonderful end to a Great pow wow season!  This small gathering has quickly become one of our favorite 'vacation' pow wows.  We worked pretty good here, but it is such peaceful grounds, wonderful locals, and the land owners are some of the most hospitable people you will ever meet. 

Every state flag is set around the rustic benched out circle.  A Creek encampment and row of teepee lodges on the north end of the grounds, with their respective inhabitants.  The town of 'Eagleville' at the south end of the grounds, where the cowboy shootout happens when the bank gets robbed.  Little Wolf had his children's village set up as well, and the train rides, flute playing, and storytelling rounded out a fantastic weekend.  If you are ever around Folkston, GA at this time, I would highly recommend stopping in to Dance, Camp, Shop, and relax at this event.

The following was sent to me by my good friend, and as she puts it, "Our God is right on time!"

Thank you Michele - I Love You

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.

           If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.

           If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.

            What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.

            If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.

            The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.

         Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.

         In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway
