Daily Nugget

Two goats met one another upon a narrow plank set up across a river, so that they could not pass by without one thrusting the other off. If they were human beings, they would argue who had the right to survive. On the other hand, the goats figured out how one could help the other and, at the same time, help itself. One lay down and let the other leap over it.

With our super intelligence,  we humans let pride get in the way. For example, we find ourselves desiring to be Number One rather than reaching out to others.  With these words in Mark 9:34, Jesus reminded His disciples (and us) how we should act: “If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

God, let us learn the joys of serving others.  Amen.
