Humility - Mug - Parish

This is the last of six designs bearing on Humility From John Stackhouse I’ve learned the art of self-deprecating humour, but is really a hall of mirrors: See? I can laugh at myself! Doesn’t that show tremendous humility? Aren’t I just so very good at it? Oops! There I go again!… And again! Oh, dear From C.S.Lewis: There is one vice of which no person in the world is free, the vice of pride. It leads to every other vice. A proud person is always looking down on things and people. As long as you’re looking down, you can’t see something above you. The devil laughs. He is perfectly content to see you becoming chaste and brave and self-controlled provided, all the time, he is setting up in you the Dictatorship of Pride - just as he would be quite content to see your chilblains cured if he was allowed, in return, to give you cancer. For Pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense. Please take a look at all our items! Buy for friends, family and others you love for many occasions! For Lent, purchase the full set of six Lenten "Humility" mugs..
