Be Gracious And Humble

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.Romans 12:16

Everyone in the United States born after say 1950 has it pretty good for the most part. Running water, electricity, washing machine or laundromat near by, grocery stores everywhere, refrigeration and air conditioning. You get my point.

Our forefather pioneers were a rugged bunch yes they knew nothing different. Necessity is the mother of invention so inventors like Thomas Edison, Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, Tesla, John Deere, and others went to work many hard hours to give us what we have today and we often don’t appreciate.

Don’t ever get too high and mighty and look down on others who maybe don’t have it as good as you. Many people can’t afford five star restaurants, playing golf, owning a new car debt free, and so forth. Many don’t have the opportunity for a college education. Many grew up in fractured homes or foster care. Just remember every day to say thank you to God. And if you have a way to help others less fortunate pay it forward.

PRAYER: Lord when I sit down to a meal each day I say thanks. When I get to go special places I say thanks. Help me be on the lookout for ways to help those hurting and in need. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
