I could identify very much with this.

It reminds me of my Dad, because whenever you compliment him on his intelligence, etc, he always replies "It's a borrowed gift" (from God) and gives God the Glory. I do have to work hard on just saying thank you to compliments instead of brushing them off.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451797365712728579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38903995.post-41248102374301517752009-07-21T08:07:56.721-05:002009-07-21T08:07:56.721-05:00Your Dad's cousin sounds like a wonderful pers...Your Dad's cousin sounds like a wonderful person, and a nice reminder to all of us that whatever Gifts we are given it is through the Grace of God, and we should share those Gifts as God wants us to.<br />And I agree with you that it is uncomfortable most times to receive praise or thanks and you really do feel that it's not such a big deal, and when you think about it, it really is God working through us, so why should we take any of the credit? But I think by 'dismissing' the thank-you's and/or the praise we do in some way dismiss those people thanking us or praising us. So when you think of it that way, it does make it easier to accept a compliment or a thank you.<br />Great post!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.com
