Prodigal: He’s so country he thinks a seven-course meal is a rabbit and a six-pack.

Me: That is funny, but we have to remain humble.

This is form the book Imitation of Christ by Thomas A Kempis

Humble we therefore our souls under the hand of God in all temptation and tribulation, for He will save and exalt the humble in spirt. In temptations and tribulations, a man is proved how much he hath profited; and his reward is thereby the greater, and his virtue the better made clear. Neither is it a great thing if a man be devout and fervent, when he feeleth no affliction; but if in time of adversity he bear himself patiently, there is hope then of great progress.

Some are guarded from great temptations, and in little daily ones are often overcome; to the end that being humbled, they may never presume on themselves in great manners, who are made weak in so small things.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
