"It is not good to eat much honey; so to seek one's own glory is not glory."
Proverbs 25:27
Honey is good, but too much of it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. So it is with bragging. Hearing of a person's accomplishments is good, but the arrogant bragger leaves a bad taste. If the only thing a person can talk about is "me," he needs to broaden his world. He is only displaying his own insecurities. Tooting one's own horn sounds more like a fog horn than a trumpet.
Today's Thought: Giving myself praise is not as sweet as when it comes from someone else.
Have a honey of a day. Love you.
