Easy Peasy, Pudding and Pie.

Wow, what a week! I am SO tired. We went to see Avatar last Monday night, and didn’t realise what a LONG movie it was. We didn’t get home till just after midnight, and well, that’s a little too late for me, particularly when I have a whole week of work ahead of me!

Luke and I have both been sleeping in a bit each day, and even Pepper has found herself being kicked out bed when it’s time to leave (usually she like to wake up early and chase things…). Luckyily I had lunches already made, so getting ready in 5 minutes wasn’t a problem.

Anyway, the rest of the post is something I’ve wondered for most of my life, and was brought to my attention again when I got my new laptop. So your thoughts would be appreciated!

When I bought my sexy MacBook Pro I made a bag to put it in, so that it was safe while I carried it to and from work.

I guess I was pretty proud of my creation, and so took it to craft group to show the team. Nanna was super impressed, and I was a little shocked. To me, yes, it was nice, but it was still just a bag. Two rectangles of felt, two of wadding, and two of materials. Then some binding stitched at the top and some flaps and buttons added. Not too hard. The part I was proud about was the little flaps- that took thoughts! lol, but no one else noticed much!!

Anyway, it got me thinking, do we sometimes under-value the things we make, or the skills we have? Are we not proud of ourselves, even when we should be? Should we ever be proud? I don’t mean to get all overly comlicated, or spiritual about this, but in james 4:6 (The Bible) it says “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble”. Is this the same sort of proud? Can I be proud of the bag that I’ve made and not be “proud”?
