Be happy and humble-minded
Soups On to discuss
honor of humanity
On Monday, April 20, at
6:30 p.m. at 875 Seventh St.,
everyone is invited to join a
diverse group to discuss the
honor of humanity.
The Baha’i Writings say,
“The honor of man is through
the attainment of the knowl-
edge of God; his happiness is
from the love of God; his joy
is in the glad tidings of God;
his greatness is dependent
upon his servitude to God...”
The evening will begin with
bowls of chicken minestrone
soup, fruit, warm homemade
bread and vegetables followed
by the evening’s topic until
8:30 p.m.
The gathering will end with
prayers for the requests left in
the Prayer Pole in the garden
of the Florence Playhouse and
those shared by the group.
Low-cost spay, neuter
clinics return to FAHS
Dr. Ron Titterington of
Eugene has put the Florence
Area Humane Society back in
the business of spaying and
neutering cats and dogs.
According
to
Shelter
Manager Barb Hall, low-cost
Spay and Neuter Clinics are
now held every Wednesday
with the help of Titterington.
Call the shelter, 541-997-
4277, to make an appointment.
Spay surgery for a female
cat costs $65 and neuter sur-
gery for males is $50. Spay
and neuter surgeries for dogs
range between $150 and $200.
Vaccinations and micro-
chipping are available for sur-
gical patients.
Buying or Selling? I can help.
Jesus says in Matthew 5:3
(AMP), “Blessed…are the
poor in spirit, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven!”
Let’s face it: humility isn’t
a very popular word. Yet, all
throughout the Bible, the Lord
instructs us about the benefits
of being “humble-minded.”
I love James 4:6. It says,
“God opposes the proud, but
gives grace to the humble”
(ESV). In other words, the
humble get the help!
I believe humility is often
misunderstood and even
viewed as a weakness. But it’s
the exact opposite. Humility
places us in a position to
receive God’s grace and
become everything He’s
called us to be.
A humble person is also a
happy person. They can take
joy in their life and what God
has called them to do, regard-
less of what the world thinks
about it.
For instance, you may think
your current circumstances
and responsibilities from God
are mundane. The proud per-
son always wants to do some-
thing they think the world will
admire … something others
see as “important.”
The truth is, we don’t have
to do something important to
be important. We are impor-
tant because God loves and
values us. Our worth comes
from Him. As we receive His
love and find our true worth
in Him, then we can truly
enjoy our purpose in life and
live in contentment.
So many people are miser-
able, constantly comparing
themselves to others who are
smarter, prettier, or more suc-
cessful. But the “poor in spir-
it” have the ability to be
happy with who they are.
My husband, Dave, is a
perfect example. Years ago,
the Lord instructed him to
leave his job in the engineer-
ing field to help establish
Joyce Meyer Ministries.

At that time, God spoke to
his heart and said, “If you do
what I am calling you to do …
and allow Joyce to do what
I’ve called her to do, then you
will have a lot of peace and
happiness.”
Dave is an extremely vital
part of this ministry. We are a
team, and he oversees all of
the business and financial
aspects of the organization.
However, it takes a truly hum-
ble man — a man who is
secure and knows that God
approves of him — to be okay
with his wife being the one
“out front.”
I can honestly say that
Dave is one of the happiest
p
e
o
p
l
e
I know. He knows what
God has asked him to do …
and he is doing it with
joy.
What are some other char-
acter traits of a humble per-
son?
1. The humble can always
ask for help, and they don’t
insist on everything being
done their way.
2. They are quick to forgive
others, difficult to offend, and
content to wait on God for
vindication when they have
been wronged.
3. They are patient and
don’t get frustrated with the
weaknesses of others.
4. The humble person is a
peacemaker. In fact, we need
humility to maintain peace in
our lives. Romans 12:16
(AMP) says, “Live in harmo-
ny with one another; do not be
haughty…but readily adjust
yourself and give yourselves
to humble tasks. Never over-
estimate yourself.”
Wow! Just imagine if we all
decided to adopt just this one
command from the Bible. It’s
the way that leads to peace
with ourselves and others.
5. A humble person knows
when to be quiet. It’s certain-
ly not wrong to talk, but a
humble person is comfortable
allowing others to have center
stage and doesn’t feel the
need to speak their mind in
every situation.
6. A humble person sees
their own weaknesses and can
readily admit them. When we
open up to others about our-
selves, it can actually encour-
age and help them realize
they’re not the only ones who
deal with things.
7. A humble person happily
serves other people, and they
don’t do it to impress others.
They do it unto God, knowing
their reward will come from
God.
8. A humble person is very
thankful. This is one reason
they’re usually so happy.
When we live with an attitude
of gratitude, it releases joy
and power into our lives.
9. A humble person has a
tender conscience and is
quick to repent.
10. A leader who is truly
humble treats everyone with
respect. How a leader treats
people is the quickest way to
find out their level of humili-
ty.
First Peter 5:6 (AMP) says,
“Therefore humble yourselves
under the mighty hand of
God, that in due time He may
exalt you.”
The older I get, the more I
realize the importance of
humility. In John 15:5 (AMP),
Jesus says, “Apart from Me
you can do nothing.” I often
pray things like, “Lord, I can
do absolutely nothing without
You today. Please help me —
I need Your grace in every sit-
uation.”
I encourage you to pray and
ask for God’s help.
By His grace, you can
begin to develop an attitude of
humility…and discover the
Rev. Pearce to speak of
spiritualism at UU Sunday
The Rev. Dr. Marcia
Pearce will be the guest
speaker
this
Sunday,
April 19, at the Florence
Unitarian Universalist Fe-
llowship from 10 to 11
a.m.
The title of her talk is
“The Spiritual Human.”
Pearce has been a news-
paper columnist, a daily
inspirational radio commen-
tator and recently re-
tired from being a full-time
pastor for more than 30
years.
Pearce said she hears many
people
ask,
“How
can I, as an individual,
cause my beliefs about
my spirituality to make a
difference in today’s con-
fused human world?”
Pearce answered, “As
caring people, we all
want to help heal or
change what is going
on in the world, but we feel
limited because we are
only human. The quest-
ion then becomes is that
true?”
Pearce will address these
questions and more.
All are welcome to att-
end each Sunday service.
The
UU
Fellowship
is located at 87738 High-
way 101 at Heceta Beach
Road and is wheelchair
accessible.
