"Humble yourself the more, the greater you are."  These words from Sirach are packed with wisdom.  Who we become, and the success we achieve, is due not only to our own merits but also to God's grace.  Without God, we cease to be.  This is a simple fact.  If we ever feel entitled to honor, superior treatment, or privileges, then we are deluding ourselves.  The person who truly understands and is responsible for their well-being and success will quickly become a servant of others.  We tend to forget how important service is.  Being generous and kind, especially to those who cannot repay us, is the hallmark of the Christian life.  Are we willing to put ourselves last?  An easy way to seek an answer is to determine how much value you place on sitting in the seat you occupy today or the space you choose to park your car.  Would you offer these to someone else?
