I learn from my humility. The part I must find contentment in is waiting for God to humble others when they are hurtful or spiteful to another. We may never see his plan with those types of people but each time I am hurt, OH MY, I learn far more than I could being content 24/7. Great post Syd.

About being humble and accepting our shortcomings. It's here: http://www.livinginthemystery.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I don't get many readers. In fact, my stat counter tells me that not one person has visited my blog in two weeks. So I'd love to see someone stop by :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693795343641111526noreply@blogger.com
