Our grandson had the leading part in “Aesop Fables” in Memphis, Tennessee, as a fifth grader. We had to make a special trip to be in the audience to watch this performance. I just want to say he was very engaged and outshined any professional actor; I’m not just making that statement because he was my grandson. The girl who played Rabbit would have been in close competition.
I was very proud of him but much prouder the following day. We were walking in the neighborhood when a woman passing by in a car shouted, “Hey, Aesop.” He just put his head down and didn’t seem to want the recognition or to talk about it. Our grandson showed humility, and for me there was nothing that could make me prouder of him.
Humility is a great quality which the Bible refers to many times.
Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
Think about it.
