Each month this year, the visiting teaching message is about another attribute of Jesus Christ. August's message talks about Christ being meek and humble.
In the lesson, the example is given of Christ washing the feet of the apostles. What a demonstration of meekness and humility!
There is a great power in these simple, unassuming qualities.
Thanks for the sometimes overlooked attributes of meekness and humility.

Being meek does not mean weakness, but it does mean behaving with goodness and kindness, showing strength, serenity, healthy self-worth, and self-control.--Elder Ulisses Soares" |

It is the power to meet life's adversities, the power of peace, the power of hope, the power of a heart throbbing with a love for and testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ, even the power of redemption.--Richard C. Edgley"
I might give a copy of those printed quotes with a small towel to the sisters I visit teach this month, to serve as a reminder of Christ's example of meekness and humility.

I'm guilty for confusing "meek" and "weak." Thanks for the clarification! It's very helpful.
ReplyDeleteI think they are often confused.
