Humility.


The virtue of humility may be defined: "A quality by which a person considering his own defects has a lowly opinion of himself and willingly submits himself to God and to others for God's sake."


hmmm...

Origin:
1275–1325; Middle English humilite < Latin humilitās.
lowliness, meekness, submissiveness.

pride.

Ok.
BUT...

Humility.
Isn't that when you are driving in a hurry cussing the world right on someone's bumper and you stop (not the car unless it's safe) and you reflect.
"Hey haven't I driven like a total dork (or worse) once or twice?"
You breathe. you slow down. you remember that you will get there when you get there. and next time you don't get all hysterical when you are late, behind a leisurely driver with continuous blinking for 27 miles...you change.

You soften through God's compassion for you, for that other driver, for us all.
God loves us all the same. and a whole heck of a lot.
LIKE HUGE LOVE!

Because we admit we are human we can look to God for the answers, the steps, the wise way to walk
And to say thanks...we express our gratitude, we pray and get close to God, we praise the fact that He hooks us up in this crazy life ( I like to sing for Him), and we take BOLD action to...
PASS IT ON!
