Luke 18:9-14
And He also told this parable to certain ones who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt:
Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.
The Pharisee stood and was praying thus to himself, "God, I thank Thee that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax-gatherer.
I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get."
But the tax-gatherer, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying , "God, be merciful to me, the sinner!"
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted."
Have a blessed Sunday and remember to smile - God loves you!

This morning on my walk I saw the first Robin of spring.
Now I know spring is on the way. :-)

I can tell spring is coming, too! The buds on the maple are ready to burst. We worked outside yesterday and will do some more today.
I need to go to Weis one day this week. Interested in coming with me?
Blessed Sunday for you and Ken.
oh a Robin Redbreast..such a beautiful sign. Have a great sunday yourself!!!!
Your robins are very different to our robins in the UK, isn't it amazing how there are so many birds in the world and so different.
A beautiful photo of the bird. I wish you a wonderful new week :)
