Rock Solid Families - Oh Lord, It's Hard to be Humble! - Episode 161

Have you ever heard the song by Country Music Singer, Mac Davis, It's Hard to be Humble?  Merrill tries is talent at singing a portion of the song only to be derailed by Linda.  But, the point is how do we deal with being humble.  In this show, Linda and Merrill take on the conversation of humility and thankfulness as we come into the Thanksgiving Season.  These are terms that often get thrown around lightly, but the challenge of actually living this words is no light task.  Humility is not how many of us have been raised up.  We often see parents raising their children to be prideful leaders.  People who will answer to no one and should get whatever they desire.  A "me first" approach to daily living.  This seems to work, at least for a little while.  But, at some point, the rest of the world doesn't care so much to give you what you want or to please you.  That's when things begin to get dicey.  In John 13 :1-7 Jesus gives us the perfect example of what it means to act in humility.  To take on the heart of a servant.  He does this by washing the feet of his apostles.  Jesus did this to show us that even when a person is being referred to as a king, he must have his priorities straight in service to others.  He must understand what others mean to him and how he can give back to them for the service they have done for him.  In this life of daily challenges, we realize quickly that we are unable to go it alone. We must learn to walk in humility and thankfulness for first and foremost what God is and means to us. We must recognize our purpose as His servant and not the other way around.  He made us, we did not make Him.  For that reason, we are able to begin to celebrate our gifts and give the thanks and glory to Him that blessed us.  Teach your children early in life that they are unique and blessed with gifts from God.  Teach them to be thankful and to learn to use their gifts to glorify God by serving others.  Teach your kids that they are the hands and feet of Christ!   Support the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy,  #marriagecounseling,  #parenting,  #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity
