First Ourselves

This is an email I received from "First Ourselves" this morning.  I loved it and thought it was appropriate to share here.

Daily Encouragement for you on January 4, 2011:

"We practice bravery when we resist the pull to run – or indulge – and instead stay. We practice humility when we embrace our very human neediness as something precious, tender, and valuable rather than something shameful. We practice grace when we hold our human neediness lightly and see beyond to the divinity underneath. "
