 THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2022, HUMILITY

“He got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.  After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.” John 13:4

“When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.  Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.  I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.  Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.  Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.” John 13-12-17

“And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8

Humility!!!  

You were out of town, and I came over and mowed your grass and edged the sidewalk.

You were unable to shovel, and I came over and shoveled your driveway and your sidewalk. 

You had a big presentation and I took and ironed your shirt.

You were thirsty and I gave you a drink

You were hungry and I gave you food

You were in an assisted living facility and I visited you weekly and played checkers with you (as a volunteer)

You needed a ride to the grocery store, and I took you.

You <something> and I <something>

There is an old adage - how do you spell love?  The answer is T  I  M  E  - spend some time with your friends, the shut-ins, the sick, the ugly, the lonely, the hurting.

And … while you are at it, wash their feet.

LOVE WINS
