I had missed this guy’s class several times over and above the limit when he starts taking off points from the final grade; by rights I should have had, at maximum, a B-.

It made me think of Paul’s rebuke against pride: “What do you have that you haven’t been given?” The point is to be grateful even for the little things, because when it comes right down to it, everything we have comes from God.

Think about it. People take pride in their beautiful bodies all the time–but what do they have to do with that? Sure, we can put makeup on (y’know, if we’re ladies or actors )–but God gave us the will and strength to work to make the money to afford it; sure, we can work out, but God gives us the material and metabolism to work with. Likewise, it’s by grace that I received an `A’ in that class, for which I’m grateful.

This is nothing new to me, but reminders are always good. Life lessons come in the little things.
