“Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the Lord. “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word” (Isaiah 66:2 NIV).
You can't deny it, there's competition in the air. The sports world. The political candidates. Dog shows. Stores are always trying to have the “best buys,” and it gets even more so before the holidays.
Well, how do I say this? Kelli and her youngest, Elizabeth, both like to make greeting cards to sell and were vendors at a bazaar. Well, Elizabeth outdid Kelli in sales. But I do need to make a point. Elizabeth's cards were more on the scenic side and Kelli's included a bit of variety—namely, ME, and lil' brother, Bolt. And she sold both cards! So our faces are going to offer some holiday cheer to someone. Settle down, I tell myself. Be humble. No one can outdo Snoopy’s famous mug.
