wash feet: set His example.

Okay, so my mom works at a chiropractic office and they offer foot baths. I’m not sure how much they cost, but lots of people pay to get their feet cleaned by this foot bath-thing that’s supposed to get rid of all the toxins and bacteria in/on your feet. The results make you want to puke. Ya see, I was going to post a picture of what it ends up looking like, but I decided to do you (and me) a favor. I put a picture of a cute little rubber ducky floating in bath water instead. Usually, the water is like really dark brown or almost black. Or as Zoey Davis would say, “Double ew!” (that was for my Kickin’ It readers :) ) But seriously, it ends up resembling car oil or tar or something rather than water with a little bit of dirt in it.

You’re probably like “Anna, where are you going with all this?” Don’t worry, I’m getting there. Jesus washed the feet of the disciples, remember? And think about how nasty their feet would be. The people that come to my mom’s office don’t walk dust roads in sandals for their livelihood. So let’s just say the disciples feet were triple ew. Jesus still washed their feet without any complaining. Peter tried to stop him. I mean, since he is the Son of God and everything.

Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.”
Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!”
After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’, and you are right, because that’s what I am. And since I, you Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each others feet.”


So...are you gonna set His example? Wash feet. Paint toenails. Give pedicures. Love others.

LYLASITS,
