Tid Bits

"A person's small puffs of pride are best blown away by the breeze of brotherhood; left alone, these become enlarged and dark thunderclouds which drench all roundabout."

"[The people of Enoch] are more willing to be be impressed than they are eager to impress."

This was such a good reminder for me. Unfortunately, having a house has made me more aware of what other people have and, at times, what I lack. It has been important for me to step back and realize that I have so much more than many people dream of. It is MY pride that makes things seem bleek and uninteresting. Enjoying what you have...what the Lord has blessed you with...is one of the truest tests of gratitude.

I am looking forward to being impressed by all of you!
