I was standing near the kitchen with my grandmother when she opened her wallet and a handful of tiny folded notes fell out. As I helped her gather them up, she giggled and showed me one. They were little love notes that my grandfather had written her over the years. It was just about the most endearing thing ever. He wrote them, she kept them, and I got a small glimpse into their love story.

If only everything in real life was as easy as it is in our imaginations!

Time and Humility is how my grandmother could school a phD. It’s how a faithful missionary can have a deeper understanding of the things of God than a mega-church pastor. And it’s how you and I can take steps towards knowing God, not just theories and cute Insta quote cards.
