The Outdoor Circle is a nonprofit organization here in Hawaii that strives to keep things “Clean, Green, and Beautiful.” They have several chapters throughout the state, and my local chapter, Lani-Kailua, held an oli or blessing ceremony at the planting of some new trees along a major meridian. Today’s episode is a chance to experience our local culture at its best! Haunani Kauka and ʻIlima Stern, of Aloha Blessings, performed the ceremony beautifully.

Mahalo to the city/county/state officials (including Mayor Mufi Hanneman, Councilwoman Barbara Marshall, Lester Change of Parks & Rec, and Stan Oka, Urban Forestry) and the Outdoor Circle for working together on this project.

On Saturday, November 21, 2009, Word of Life Christian Center members, friends and families humbly served 5,700 Thanksgiving lunches at 45 sites throughout Oahu! It was an amazing, touching day. Our desire was to share the love of God with our communities and let them know that we love them and Jesus loves them. It’s a simple message but a life-changing one. We had Men of War and the Blessing Crew ministering, former rival gang members working side by side, a blessing store where men, women and children shopped for whatever they needed and wanted at no cost to them, and of course a delicious Thanksgiving meal. We are so Thankful for everyone that gave of their time, talents and treasure. And for the community leaders that allowed us to join forces with them to bring the light of God through this outreach. Thank you!

This home blessing is a traditional
Hawaiian cleansing roughly translated:
As far as the eye can see…
this open sea where the wind blows and takes the birds to offshore islands, & beautiful land, we ask God to remove all suffering of past and cleanse this
land and relieve all woes.
We pray to bless this home and insure happiness, joy, and peace within to the family that lives here now and forever.
