So Valentine's Day is right around the corner and my girls needed cards for parties at school. Our preschooler had her party first and she brought home a bag full of cards from her friends. One of them was specialized with the child's picture in the middle. So when our 7 year old saw that she wanted a card like that except "Mom, I want my picture to be really BIG in the middle!" So we went on-line personalized some cards and printed them off. I picked them up last night and starting laughing at the hugeness of my child's picture in the great big heart in the middle. When I showed them to her...she loved them! So, that got me to thinking about how life is all about us sometimes. We make ourselves so big and we want to be the center of attention. However, that is certainly not the way Christ lived His life. He lead a life of servanthood and reminded us to the same. In James 6 it says "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." In Luke 14 Christ reminds us that "those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." And finally in James 4:10 it says "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." So God help me to not make life all about me today!!
