"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself." (Philippians 2:3)
This week, focus on being humble! Tell the story of how Jesus even washed his own disciples feet (John 13). Explain humility to your children and the difference between being humble and being prideful. Then, think of ways to act out humility. Do service acts for each other throughout the week, or do an anonymous service act as a family for someone you know. Focus on letting others go first (maybe if your child has friends over this week, he or she could always let the friend go first). You could even model this idea for your children by letting someone go ahead of you in line at the grocery store!
Remember, "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom." (Proverbs 11:2)
