"Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me. Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me." - Psalm 131:1-2 NKJV

Everyone has pride in something and is proud of something, whether its an accomplishment or they are pleased with their family. You have to remember, God gave you the talents and gifts to earn that accomplishment, or guidance to raise your family for their bright future. You didn't do it on your own, God always has a hand in whatever you do! Thank you and God Bless!
