I feel recently like I have been riding a train a bit here, but everything I read as of late confirms the same. I was considering recently again how Mother Theresa, when used shoes came to her in Calcutta, she would dig thru them first, to take the worst pair for herself. I thought maybe she did not have to always do that. Then I thought about how she would always go last in line, and how she w...ould also stay around after all to clean up when no one seen and all had left. My thoughts were maybe she went overboard with all of those actions, but then I read this, from the sacred writings, “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, (the worst shoes, the back of the line, the worst job) so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
