Babies
Maybe it's too obvious but, think of how helpless a little baby is when they are born. They rely on others for everything. In all of creation, human babies are dependent on other longer than any other creature. It's interesting especially since we are above all other creatures, given dominion over them and also are made in God's likeness unlike any other thing on earth, however our beginnings are quite humble. I think that's why the picture God uses of Him as our heavenly Father is SO cool, not only that He made us, but that He (the Creator of ALL things) deigns to LOVE us.

The other thing that is so cool about this concept is that God sent His Son as a baby ... the humblest position on earth. Like you said, many animal babies seem to be more competent and able to at least fend for themselves than human babies. And to think that Jesus humbled Himself that much for our sakes. It's incredible.
(Sorry I haven't written yet, ladies. Things have been crazy here and I am struggling to think of one! Will try to work on it this week. Linda, do you have one?)
J...
This is a great one. I was going back and forth on whether to write on this.. seeing as Jesus tell us to be like children to resemble thier humility... But nonetheless it is a good one.
Another thought the humility of a baby... Just think how we take our babies here and there, dictating when we go and when. It is so neat to see they just go along for the ride... not putting in their 2 cents. They are content just being with their mommy or daddy.
Julia, what an awesome point.
On that point, I am expecting too... my first... in October
That makes 3 of us...
