Can you imagine being a part of the Last Supper?  Although the religious implications are very important in our little world, the reality is that Jesus knew he was going to die.  He told his disciples that they should love one another – regardless.

This is a tough one for me.  I know I’m going to die, too….though, I don’t know when, as Jesus did.  And, of course, I pray that I don’t suffer as Jesus did.

But, to love one another with humility?  Whoa.  That is a tough one for me.  I can certainly love a number of folks without humility.  But, there are some (mostly extended family members) who I just cannot find it in me to love at all!  I certainly don’t hate them, as I can’t find it in me to hate anyone … but, love them?  With humility?

Disappointment surrounds me at times, so much that I cannot think straight.  Disappointment in how I am treated by others, disappointment in how others say they’re going to do something but don’t get around to actually doing it and don’t care that they didn’t do it … and disappointment about how hard I work at my relationships and then find that I’m the only one who IS working at them.

I am only human.  The flaws that I have, God has accepted and with His help, I will always strive to be a better person.  Right now, though, I’m just trying to figure out how I can love people without humility.  I’d better start with my small circle of immediate family members and work my way out (like the ripples on the water), because it’ll probably take me my lifetime to let go and love everyone!
