Round the Sphere Again: Humility

At my dad’s memorial service, a young man read Philippians 2:1-9, one of his favorite passages. When he finished, he said, “Frank’s life was an example of humility.” And it was. One of the most precious memories of my life was my dad, at the hospital, emptying my husband’s bed pan.

So I really liked this (David Kjos at The Calvinist Gadfly). Just as with the professor in David’s story, you could see “see the shadow of Christ” in my dad’s service. And when you know someone who is truly humble, it points right back to the greatest humility: God with us.
