bits

I am thankful today:
for everything from adorable cats and honey oat bread to cleaning my room and hearing the Lord speak.
I am excited about small group. Together we will learn about prayer-- we will learn by listening.
Also, a few days ago, Dr. B gave us bags of dirt in class.
we studied the word humility.
(syn.: unpretentious, submissive, lowly, modest, meek, insignificant, deferent.)
the Latin root word is humus, meaning earth. dirt.
(decay, death. valuable, life-yielding, rich.)
what a beautiful connection.
"Jesus humbled himself, took the form of a man-- who was shaped from the dust of the ground-- died humbly to provide life to others"
 (amen.)
