A humble life: considering others through intentional acts of kindness

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. ~ Philippians 2:3

Although I’ve been blessed with a 36-year marriage to my real-life hero, Bob, a sweet friendship with our daughter, Bailey Ann, plus wonderful family, friends and dreams come true, as another birthday sneaks up on me—my final one as a member of “Club 50”—I’ve been assessing my life’s journey, and where I envision myself in the next five, 10, 15 years. While many circumstances are beyond our control, I believe we have purpose as long as we’re breathing. Years ago, a dear friend accomplished a specific number of intentional acts of kindness during the year prior to a milestone birthday. This has encouraged me to prepare for the next decade (and “Club Sparkles”) in a similar way. I’ll be sharing blog updates throughout 2025, with the hope they’ll provide encouragement to humbly consider others more important than ourselves.

What’s your definition of a humble life?
