In your moments of forgetting, surround yourself with them to remind you of who you are and what you are capable of. One of the great touchstones of the Christian faith is the Bible. It connects us to our family and our God. It is filled with imagination and touchstone stories. Our Bible Banner, described on an insert in the bulletin, is a banner of touchstones.
Faith is empowered by touchstones.
H is for Humility A fifth invisible ingredient to faith is humility. Humility is one of God's painful virtues. Humility is often the lesson that stings, for it often comes with some kind of loss or downfall. As someone else observed, the universe likes to keep things in balance. When an inflated ego ignores civility and patience and compassion, God introduces the gift of humility as a way to bring our ego back down to earth.
