December 16, 2017


FEET

Feet - as necessary - as important as hands….
Feet - washed by Jesus, who had the same
experience of having his feet washed and
then dried by a woman’s hair.  "Oooh nice!"

Feet - taking us everywhere along the
roads of our Palestine and the streets of our
Jericho and Jerusalem - and sometimes
we wish we could walk on water….

Feet - sometimes we’re unaware of our feet.
We stub our toes. And sometimes we’re
unaware of those who do the footwork
in our life: mail carriers, nurses, police….

Feet - sometimes we feel nailed down - 
like Jesus on the cross. We're stuck, feeling
abandoned - and we can't walk away.
We can only say, "Father forgive them...."
