Thanks Donnett for the reminder that as we pursue humility we become more and more like Christ (Phil. 2:1-5).

All my life, there has been one thing clear to me. North America has completely different 'rules' and structures that I don't love and it makes me feel like I'm missing out on a lot! My life based on feathers. If you do this to move ahead, you pluck a feather. The idea of a construct designed from humility! What a blessing to dream of and witness in some cases.

These ideas of getting more while those suffered were created way before I was born. Before my grandparents even. This will always be a truth of the world we live in. Though norms are ever changing as men used to wear heels and women never wore pants. I am reminded of the existence of our vulnerabilities and joyfullness through other cultures. Cultures that have less materially, so have more to draw from spiritiully to create happiness.

Thank Pastor Alan

Thanks Marjorie for taking the time to respond. Certainly I agree that we can learn a tremendous amount from other cultures (and it is a privilege to be able to do so). I agree also that humility is a key spiritual discipline which will open up many avenues of blessing if we have the courage to try.
