Today in church in the midst of filled tummys and sleepy heads we were reminded to be humble. God stands in the way of the proud but gives grace to the humble. The point was made that in today's world being humble sometimes means you have to admit that you don't know something that would indicate that you are weak and nobody wants to appear weak because you get picked on and bullied. We rather put a front than admit it.
But today i learned that its better to be humble even though you might be thought less of and probably picked on because "...God gives grace to the humble and stands in the way of the proud..." because pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. So i'm thankful for that, so that next time when i have to admit i don't know something in class and have everyone go huh? It'll be easier knowing that He's got my back.
Today i read that Colour blindness is an inherited disorder caused by the absence of a cone cell in the eye and its more common in males than females. In extreme cases you can only see black and white. Imagine a world without colour! I'm glad i can see colours and most of my cells don't seem to be missing. Another chance to be thankful :)
Thank you father for making me so wonderfully complex, for knitting me inside my mother's womb, for knowing me before i was. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. Thank you that i can see colour and i know the difference between right and wrong, sometimes :)
