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...."
