I had just got back from a trip to visit my mother and brother in Nebraska when I received the thought. I knew it was a thought from God. He rarely speaks to me anymore, I guess it is easier for him to just think to me.

I was walking in my kitchen when it occurred to me. There had been a table that my brother, sister and I had constructed while at home. It was a table of data regarding the pivots that run on our farm. The thought was that I should transfer all of the data into a table that was clearly typed out on the computer. In other words; it should be much better than the chicken scratches I had penned while at home.

I immediately sat down at my kitchen table and opened my laptop. I first tried entering the information into an excel spreadsheet. I had no luck with that so I transferred to my Microsoft Office Word and developed a wonderful table which was much easier to read than what we had before.

I sent the document via email to my sister and brothers, so they would all have a copy. My sister really appreciated it because she had an appointment with an insurance agent regarding the pivots the next day.

It is amazing to me at how concerned God is for everyone. Not just me. I had other things to do that day but when he nudged me to think of my family instead of myself I undertook the task immediately.

Then today I happened across the verse in Phillipians 2:3 which says, “Do nothing out of selfishness or vain conceit. Rather in humility, value others above yourselves.”

I have so much further to go in the humility department but I am relieved to know that I have at least made a start.
