Humbled

Today will be a busy one! We have guests arriving tomorrow and the house needs an overhaul. The dusty season has started and i can write my name and many other things on all the surfaces that i pass......hmmm

Then i realise that tonight is also a through-the-night song and dance festival in our village! And it’s right on our front step! And they use MegaPhones so that Everyone in the district will be able to hear the chantings, readings and songs!! Yikes – that means we will not sleep a wink!! And to top it all the whole thing is so useless, so utterly shallow....

Honouring a man who has been dead for centuries, a man who does not deserve any praises. And thinking along these lines, i think i became a bit cross and even, a bit proud.....

Well, it says “The Lord tears down the proud man’s house” or woman for that matter, for as i opened the bible, it said.....

“it is by Grace that you have been saved” Grace, not my very nice little life, or good works or even the nice little (now ex)-christian country that i was born in...grace and grace alone!

And so i pray that God in His Grace will save them too, will open their eyes and change their lives, just as He changed mine. So tonight instead of grumbling, i will pray and i will praise and think upon that day that they will do the same!

Bella, humbled.
