Today was a day to eat a big piece of humble pie!
I went off to work without my keys. Not my car keys, because I carpool with someone and I usually don't have to worry about that. No, I left behind my keys to get into the office itself and other things in the office. Joy!
Thankfully, someone from maintenance was able to let me in and my sweet husband found my keys at home and brought them to me after he dropped the kids off at school. I'm so glad that I can make a simple mistake like this and not be preparing for the backlash of being zapped by a lightning bolt or something of the sort.
True, God doesn't want us to have any problems, even making mistakes, but He doesn't sit up in heaven just waiting for us to screw up so He can point our our faults either. I am thankful that God gave me a peaceful spirit about it all. After all, I could have tried to blame it on someone else or just made up my mind that today was going to be a terrible day. Instead, God asked me to be willing to eat Humble Pie and then be thankful that the world is still rotating on its axis, even if I did run off without my keys.
Then there is that issue of promising a sermon was available and it wasn't. Hmmm. Maybe God's trying to tell me something there too!

Does Humble Pie taste like mud pie? I'd like to know so that I know whether or not to have some too. It kind of sounds like chocolate. I don't know why, though.
Learning humility is a hard lesson, but the most rewarding and enduring. I can imagine heaven being heaven because everyone there has spoons with long handles, feeding each other Humble Pie. And everyone just loving it!
I heard an even better key story at work recently.
A lady was locked in her building, because once she went out the "back door" she wouldn't be able to get back in to her locked office that had the keys to her car in it. So, if she did go out of the building, she wouldn't have transportation. She had to call security to come into the building and unlock her office so she could go home.
Yes, perhaps we will all be serving each other Humble Pie in heaven, and loving it!
