Moment Closest to Christ
Yesterday was Maundy Thursday and it is one of my favorite services during the Easter/Lenten Season. It is a solemn service that includes the washing of the feet just like Jesus washed the feet of the disciples after the Last Supper. Mike and I have gone every year since we have been together(and yes, we wash each others feet). I know he doesn't enjoy it like I do but he does indulge me by going along with it. Well, he was out of town yesterday but made it a point to be home in time to go to the services. Much to my disappointment, I didn't think Landry was up to it so I opted not to go. I mentioned that I was sad about not going. After a few minutes he came back from the kitchen with a bowl of soapy water and a couple of towels. He proceeded to wash my feet just as Jesus did. How much closer could I get to Jesus than that!? Sometimes you have to be the face of Jesus to other people and last night, I saw HIS face in Mike's. Happy Easter and God Bless!
