Trumpet sounds - Photo:canva.com
Oh, yes, Lord I can get proud all right, contemptuous of others.
I can seek out the limelight, and when I blow my own trumpet I like everyone to hear it. Oh, no, Lord Keep me from silly pride, from blowing my own trumpet so hard and loud that I make myself deaf to other’s needs. Let me blow your trumpet, Lord, Not my own.
Amen
— By a Columban Missionary
