Humble Thyself...

There's a camp song that we sing, it's begins like this: "Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord, Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord; and He shall lift you up, higher and higher..." I was humming that all the way home from our annual Guild Holiday Potluck dinner in the car last night.

The evening started out just fine. We found our places at decorated tables with snowman inspired centerpieces, and queued up for dinner. As the meal was concluding a few ladies were milling around looking at the various activities that were on display for the evening, there was conversation at our table regarding a certain lady's name. No one could remember, she stood quietly viewing the fabric postcards that were about to be raffled off. I decided to go up and ask her name by introducing myself; most certainly it would be reintroducing myself as I'm sure she's been a member for a while, but what's the harm in that? At least we'd all know.

I jumped up from the table. Here's where the humbling part comes in... I'll pass it along as advice:

If you're ever going to jump up from a table make sure your purse is neatly stowed beneath your chair. If it's not, make sure the strap is folded flat and tucked inside. If it's not, make sure that you don't inadvertently get your foot caught in said strap (with purse attached) because chances are you'll trip and fall flat on the floor! If you do, make sure you're not sitting at the front of the room nearest the speaker's podium and the stage where everyone can see this occur. Most certainly, if that were to happen it could prove to be very embarrassing!

Thank goodness I wasn't wearing a skirt!
Life is Good!

..."and He shall lift you up!"...
