Humility

The teacher was struggling to get those boots on to Johnny’s feet so he could go out and play in the snow during recess. After much effort, she finally got the boots on the feet when Johnny said, “These are not my boots.” She took a deep breath and worked the boots off of Johnnie’s feet. She asked, “Where are your boots?” He replied, “There’re home. I’m wearing my sister’s boots today, the ones you just took off.”

Sometimes we’re just trying to accomplish things without having all the information necessary. That was certainly true with my previous story. We don’t know everything, and some things just have to be done over and over again.

1 Peter 5:6-7

 “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 

It takes humility to be a kindergarten teacher, and it takes humility to be a Christian.

Think about it.
