This last
weekend we had communion with the students. Like in America, we split up the
girls and the boys for the actual washing part. One of the little girls asked
if she could do it with me so I agreed. After we had each washed the other’s
feet, we sat and waited for the others to finish. Unbeknownst to me, another
woman wanted to wash my feet. One little difficulty was that she didn’t speak
English so I could not mention to her that I had a partner. She proceeded to
pray for me then wash my feet. The part that hit me the most, was that after
she washed and dried my feet, she kissed both of them. It really made a strong
impression on me that a woman, or better said a complete stranger, was willing
to give her very best to me. I was inspired to realize that I should be willing
to give my very best for a stranger if God grants me opportunity. I pray that
you would be willing as well.
