There's an episode of M*A*S*H where Radar is Uncle Walter to a local lady's young son. Radar asks Capt. BJ Honeycutt to go with him to give the young child a full checkup. As they are walking along, BJ tells Radar that he is envious of him. When Radar says, "But, you're an officer and a doctor," BJ replies, "Yeah, but you have your family, and that is worth more than either of those."
We often allow ourselves to lose sight of the really important things. Our pride gets in the way and we begin to believe that we are more important than a relationship or that we are too good for certain things. When this happens, we tend to miss out on the most important things.
Today's word is a quote from Alice Hoffman that says, "Pride is a funny thing: it can make what is truly worthless appear to be a treasure."
Our pride can cause us to think that our education, our raising, our position, our whatever is more important than the people that helped us and/or continue to support us. A leader is no leader if he has no one to lead. Yes, our pride can certainly lead us to believe that something is more important than the truly important things. Don't allow your pride to blind you from what is most important.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
