Humility

Humility

Speak softly 
     uplifting others and in uplifting others
     so will you be.

Walk gently on the earth 
     using little 
     giving much 
     and all you need
          will come to you.

Listen intently 
     to friends, family and strangers,
     for each one has a fascinating 
     story to tell.
          Your own story will be enriched.

Wait patiently, but with purpose,
     and good you never expected 
     will come your way. 
     (It helps to know your goal.)

Keep silent 
     when words would injure or divide. 
          Assume the best of people, build bridges,
               promote reconciliation.

Pray as if the answers are the only thing 
     that will feed your hungry soul, then 
     listen for a God who speaks in silence.

Bow down or kneel when you pray, 
     submitting to the great God “I AM.” 
     Know your place.

Say, “Thank you,” when complimented, 
     rather than blustering, “Oh, not me.”

Just don’t make a big deal out of yourself,
     because in God’s eyes you are a really
     big deal and God doesn’t need your help
     assigning value to you.

This week we focus on humility.

See you at 7^th Street Christian Church at 
    11 a.m. on Sunday. (No worship at FCC, 
     but Sunday School as usual at 9:30 a.m.)

Moving to the deeper places.
