“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2 NIV
Every morning I sit down to put on my socks and shoes. That is the moment Famous is waiting for. The minute I take my seat he positions himself directly in front of me with his back to me. He is expecting a massage!
I ask him, “How do you get a massage every morning and I do not?” He just inches closer ignoring the question. But I know if I do not indulge him, I cannot eventually get to my shoes and take him for a walk. After a minute or so I tell him to go and get his leash like a masseuse telling him his time is up. Finally, we are ready to greet the world.
Do we take the necessary time each day to help others, to do simple tasks of service to those who cannot do for themselves? Or do we ignore those who need us, believing we are too busy or important to assist them? Famous reminds me of the joy of giving and prepares me to continue to do so throughout the day.
Show me today the one(s) who need my humble help.
