What does it truly mean to be humble... Being humble is thanking God for what you have. What you have is what God gave you and let me tell you. I had to be humbled one year by God. I was always mom can I have this dad can I have that. I never had enough. I always wanted more, more, more... I was one of those kids that were young and dumb as they call it. Never could get enough stuff. Had everything I needed for school and I asked my mom can I get the huge box of crayons, which was not on sale like the crayons she picked out for me. Her answer was no, she didn't have enough money. I begged and begged cause I wasn't understanding why I couldn't have it.

My mom always got me new stuff even if she couldn't afford it. She gave in and got me the box of crayons I'd wanted, mother was going to buy a pair of new shoes with the extra money we had. Instead, she wore old worn out shoes that were 3 years old and was a cheap pair, to begin with. I was happy about my box of crayons until my mom's feet started hurting and I had to watch her walk in pain everywhere she went. I was ashamed of that and decided to give mom my new shoes that she got me that year. Momma didn't want to take them but I insisted she take them. We wore the same shoe size. She took the shoes as a blessing.

Ever since... I have been humbled.... Humbled in the name of Lord RayEl...
