Sometimes though, I wish I were really smart - like some people I know. But then, I wonder; what if that were to make me puffed up with pride and consider myself god-like. No, no. That wouldn’t be good. So I think I’ll just be thankful to God for the way I’ve been made and continue as I am, giving thanks that I’m just as loved (by God) as everyone else, intelligent or otherwise.

And as FJ Sheen said, if a blind does not admit he is blind, he will never see.<br /><br />What caught my attention was "falling to their knees they did him homage. ....were warned in a dream not to go back to Herod and returned to their own country by a different way." Having acknowledged Jesus, i must endeavor not to return to my old life, Herod representing the sins in me.<br /><br />wtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
