Before life puts me there."<br /><br />For me naivety or ignorance has created a barrier to humility. I don't even know if I am humble. I once heard someone say that if you think you are humble, then you are not humble.<br /><br />Somehow I keep in the forefront of thought the recognition that there is NEVER going to be a conclusion to all of this, and I am ALWAYS in need of help. Parenting has been a great catalyst for humbling me to pray.<br /><br />Love the post as always - Back to basics : )!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270178527947291611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795313202070429109.post-87771767064098243132010-03-02T18:27:37.938-08:002010-03-02T18:27:37.938-08:00Very thoughtful post.

Also made me think of what the opposite of humility is to me - pride - and how strong & sneaky pride can be, hidden in the motivation behind all sorts of things.<br />Have a restful, peaceful couple of days away!<br />God bless.Heather's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323023399443964827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795313202070429109.post-6078590036201524172010-03-02T18:12:51.282-08:002010-03-02T18:12:51.282-08:00Super enjoyed this candid sharing Kathy!,

Arrogance comes before the fall. Life has tought me that that there is no room for arrogance, only for humility.

And likewise, step nine was so much more than I thought it would be. I thought I would write some letters or call some people and make amends and all would be right in my world. Hah. I wrote and re-wrote and when I was being so honest and so humble finally the words had meaning and came from my heart. No expectations as to what to expect. No rewriting words so they would get it. Just from my heart. As it turned out, one daughter did not accept it and banished me and does not want me in her life or the lives of her children. I honor her wishes. I kept her letter and filed it away. I love her.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795313202070429109.post-19325035433118666062010-03-02T09:19:37.361-08:002010-03-02T09:19:37.361-08:00Wow, wonderful post.
