Today's morning cuppa
jogged that memory for me and I spent time praying for my “new-found”
Ukrainian friends. I thanked God for the privilege of being found faithful and
put into ministry at Kompas Park by
Him. In Ukraine, which I first
considered uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8) because it was so far from my Memphis address, I
felt at home---a home full of good neighbors---always reaching out and caring
for you. Neighbors of joy,
unselfishness and love, united in Spirit and bound together by a single purpose:
to know God better.
I was humbled by God’s goodness for me during those 12 days abroad. I was humbled by the acceptance of “hard places” by many of the women at the Mom and Me Camp. I was humbled by the generosity of time and energy that the Ukrainian leadership "babies team" used to benefit me. I was amazed at their “humility” reservoir.

HumiliTEA, needs more than just a sip or two. HumiliTEA is the cuppa all should drink deeply from because
our Savior was humility personified.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: (Philippians 2:3-5)
I mulled over this scriptural definition of humility with my cuppa at my fingertips. I encourage you to do the same!
As Isaiah 57:15 reminds us: God
dwells with those who have a humble and contrite spirit and revives both the
repentant heart and the spirit of the humble. Glory to God.
Слава Богу! (For Ukrainian sisters) When I
hear you praying this, it sounds like Slava bohja----but regardless of the
language, may we all choose to glorify the Lord.
Glory to God who showed me
more of Himself, through the humility in your lives, which I saw so clearly last
week.
Humili-TEA---a great cuppa for
us all!
