A Disabled Man’s Blanket
This stunning Navajo First Phase Chief’s Wearing Blanket made headlines when it sold for 1.8 million dollars at John Moran Auctioneers’ June 19th sale in Southern California, smashing the previous world record of $522,500 for a similar blanket. An example of the rarest type of the earliest phase of Navajo blankets, it emerged from obscurity when it was brought into Moran’s free appraisal clinic by a man whose family handed it down through the generations, casually using it around the house. The sale of this museum-quality treasure has dramatically changed his life, and made auction history.

God doesn’t have to be THANKED verbally while the cameras are rolling……. here hears your heart telling your mind what the mouth should say before the air passes Over your vocal cords ……..

Father’s facts of life
‘Whatever good or bad happens to you, through whatever person or object, directly proceeds from the Father. All persons and objects are but tools in His Hand.
If an evil befalls you,think of it as His greatest mercy.
We have to suffer for our past actions sooner or later. Our Master, by taking us through these sufferings speedily, intends to relieve us of our burden earlier. By this early payment of debt, because debt it is, the amount of suffering is very much lessened.
If we have to pay one ton at first, now we are released by paying one pound only.
