Instead sit at a lower place at the table.\u00a0 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted&#8230; When you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.&#8221;\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bible.usccb.org\/bible\/luke\/14?1\">Luke 14:1, 7-14<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He reminds us of the importance of Humility in our lives. To think of others first and not get caught-up in things that won&#8217;t matter tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>We always think that life is about what we want or deserve. Toys, games, clothes, foods, rewards for doing good deeds&#8230; these things hide who we truly are in God, and how we should be living.\u00a0 It leads us to want more and more of these things and make us feel afraid of losing our things. This can lead us to a dark place&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to what life on earth teaches, it is good to think less of ourselves, so we can focus on what is more important in life. If we are worrying about what others think all the time, what things we do or do not have, or even compare ourselves to others all the time, we are putting ourselves as the center of attention. In the seat of honor at the table. And at some time, we will be asked to move to a lower place, leaving us embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, put yourself in a humble seat at the table&#8230; where you can enjoy life, the banquet and those around you that matter most&#8230; including God&#8217;s love.<\/p>\n<p>What are some ways you can be more humble in your life?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Practice gratitude: Be thankful and thank God and others for the gifts in your life. Even moments we share with others.<\/li>\n<li>Perform acts of service and self denial: Helping others in many ways, but also giving up something so someone else can have it.<\/li>\n<li>Listen to others: Listen with full attention of the heart and mind.<\/li>\n<li>Practice patience: Allow others to go first, and delay your own satisfaction, will build patience and self-denial.<\/li>\n<li>Think of others first.<\/li>\n<li>Recognize your dependence on God: Pray<\/li>\n<li>Accept yourself as you are!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Check out these fun video links below to hear more!

Porque todo el que se enaltece ser\u00e1 humillado, pero el que se humilla ser\u00e1 enaltecido&#8230; Cuando hagas un banquete, invita a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los cojos, a los ciegos; dichosos ser\u00e1n ustedes por su incapacidad para recompensarte.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/bible.usccb.org\/bible\/luke\/14?1\">Lucas 14:1, 7-14<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nos recuerda la importancia de la humildad en nuestras vidas. Pensar primero en los dem\u00e1s y no obsesionarse con cosas que ma\u00f1ana no importar\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<p>Siempre pensamos que la vida se trata de lo que queremos o merecemos. Juguetes, juegos, ropa, comida, recompensas por hacer buenas obras&#8230; estas cosas ocultan qui\u00e9nes somos realmente en Dios y c\u00f3mo deber\u00edamos vivir. Nos llevan a desear cada vez m\u00e1s de estas cosas y nos hacen sentir miedo de perderlas. Esto puede llevarnos a un lugar oscuro&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Contrario a lo que ense\u00f1a la vida terrenal, es bueno pensar menos en nosotros mismos para poder enfocarnos en lo que es m\u00e1s importante. Si nos preocupamos constantemente por lo que piensan los dem\u00e1s, por lo que tenemos o no, o incluso nos comparamos constantemente con los dem\u00e1s, nos estamos poniendo en el centro de atenci\u00f3n. En el lugar de honor de la mesa. Y en alg\u00fan momento, se nos pedir\u00e1 que bajemos a un lugar m\u00e1s bajo, lo que nos dejar\u00e1 avergonzados.<\/p>\n<p>En cambio, si\u00e9ntate en un lugar humilde en la mesa&#8230; donde puedas disfrutar de la vida, del banquete y de quienes m\u00e1s te importan a tu alrededor&#8230; incluyendo el amor de Dios.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfDe qu\u00e9 maneras puedes ser m\u00e1s humilde en tu vida?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Practica la gratitud: S\u00e9 agradecido y agradece a Dios y a los dem\u00e1s por los regalos que recibes, incluso por los momentos que compartimos con los dem\u00e1s.<\/li>\n<li>Realiza actos de servicio y abnegaci\u00f3n: Ayuda a los dem\u00e1s de muchas maneras, pero tambi\u00e9n renuncia a algo para que alguien m\u00e1s pueda tenerlo.<\/li>\n<li>Escucha a los dem\u00e1s: Escucha con plena atenci\u00f3n, con el coraz\u00f3n y la mente.<\/li>\n<li>Practica la paciencia: Deja que los dem\u00e1s vayan primero y posterga tu propia satisfacci\u00f3n; esto desarrollar\u00e1 paciencia y abnegaci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>Piensa primero en los dem\u00e1s.<\/li>\n<li>Reconoce tu dependencia de Dios: Ora.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a1Ac\u00e9ptate como eres!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a1Echa un vistazo a estos divertidos enlaces de videos para saber m\u00e1s!
