Series IV, Cycle A
The greatest among you will be your servant. All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted. (vv. 11--12)
In Daily Guideposts, 2000, Edward Grinnan recalls the lesson of service and humility that he learned from his mother. The family had an inexpensive set of steak knives when Edward was a child. The handles were made of plastic that was formed to look like wood. One steak knife in the set had a warped handle. The plastic had had a less than pleasant experience with the heating element in the family's dishwasher.
