Humility

"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others as better than himself" Our Music Pastor, Dan, talked about this verse at our staff meeting yesterday. It's a verse that I've had in mind during times when it would be all too easy to make it all about me! My favorite definition of humility is "not thinking less of myself, but thinking of myself less". The problem is the more I try to not think about myself, the more I think about myself. Must ponder this problem...

  1. Cheryl, After all these years I'm still surprised how much we think alike. Months ago I started a blogspot account of which The Daily Pix and The Julie Page is managed in. The account is called What I Really Want to Say. I, too, have the same issue with Humility. We are givers and what little time may remain at the end of the day, week, month, I get consumed in thinking of myself being consumed. It is a balancing act isn't it? I like your definition of Humility and will ponder this, too.
