A Humble Heart
"He who humbles himself will be exalted."Luke 14:11
Robertson McQuilkin, as reported in his book A Promise Kept, served as president of a thriving seminary and Bible college in South Carolina for more than twenty years. His wife, Muriel, supported him in many ways, including as an excellent cook and hostess when they entertained guests of the college in their home. They were an effective ministry team.
Then Muriel's health declined. Tests confirmed her doctor's fears; she had Alzheimer's disease. In time, Muriel's abilities failed and Robertson became increasingly responsible for her basic needs, which included feeding, bathing, and dressing.
With Muriel's needs escalating and his responsibilities at the college unchanged, Robertson faced a difficult decision: Should he place Muriel in an institution? He felt that God had called him to service as a college president. Yet he also knew that the Lord had another calling for His children—to "clothe yourselves with humility toward one another" (1 Peter 5:5). Robertson resigned from his position so that he could better care for Muriel. It was his turn to humbly serve his wife.
Robertson was startled by the response to his choice. Husbands and wives began renewing marriage vows. Pastors told the story to their congregations. Friends eventually urged him to write about the experience. What had been, in hindsight, the obvious response to a troubling circumstance seemed to touch a chord in many hearts.
When you put your partner's needs ahead of your own, as Robertson McQuilkin did, your children will notice. Your example of sacrificial love will leave a lasting impression and encourage them to apply a giving spirit to others. Your kids will find favor with God when they follow your lead and approach life with thankful and humble hearts.

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:
I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
