Humility
On his desk, Dr. Bob had a plaque defining humility:
"Perpetual quietness of heart.  It is to have no trouble.  It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore;
to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me.
It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised, it is to have a blessed home in myself
where I can go in and shut the door and kneel to my Father in secret and be at peace,
as in a deep sea of calmness, when all and around is seeming trouble."
- Dr. Bob and the Good Oldtimers, p. 222

Thought to Ponder . . .
The storm has passed.  I've learned a little more about peace.  It was inside all the time.
