#345.5 – “The Show to End All Shows, Part Five: Grant the Observer”

“He has to become greater while I become less.” - John 3:30
The only one I have not written anything about is Grant, and that is because he was not a participant in ‘the show’. He instead preferred to just sit and enjoy as a quiet observer, alongside his mother and me and the Hughes. That is so characteristic of Grant; unlike his younger brother, Grant is another one who would just as soon not be the center of anything. Much more reserved and quiet than Joshua, he rarely does anything that would draw attention to himself.
In our dealings with other people, we as Christians should have an attitude of ‘less me, more Jesus’ in all that we do. We should seek to point others to Him and not to ourselves. Our aim ought to be to put Him in the forefront of any and every conversation and action we take, while we should remain ‘in the back’.

Daniel
