DECEMBER - Humility
Humility is the awareness that all our gifts come from God and appreciation for the gifts of others.
What does humility look like?
Taking time for prayer; particularly a prayer of gratitude
Going last and waiting for others to go first
Thinking of others before yourself
Letting someone else know they did a good job
Being joyful at another person’s success
What does humility sound like?
Jesus, thank you for all the blessings you have given me.
You can go ahead of me.
Would you like this seat?
You did a really good job.
You are really good at that!
