Tonight Marie led our housechurch in talking about servanthood; a thing we could all use some work at. ;) Among other passages we talked about, we went through John 13:3-16. This is were Jesus takes a towel and washes the disciples' feet.
Marie asked how this could apply to us. Someone said this means being as willing to deal with the gross parts of people's character as we are the beautiful parts. Part of obeying this is loving through the hard times and being willing to help people as they grow and not getting bent out of shape over the dark parts of the journey.
Afterwards we had a silent time of prayer. Suddenly Marie pulled out a bowl of water and a towel. She washed the feet of everyone in the room and prayed over all of us. It was a very touching moment, especially since I live with her and I've been a little obnoxious lately.
Arg, I don't know what to do with myself. It was a bit hard listening to everyone talk Saturday. I feel like I've been quite obnoxious the last couple of weeks. Every other time I talk I end up saying something a little mean without thinking. I'm not sure why.....
