If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
- John 13: 14-15
I wanted to take an opportunity to thank those who washed my feet today. I have been struggling to raise the needed funds for my mission trip to Cambodia, and one of my friends had the idea of having a car wash. Without me making any arrangements, or putting forth any effort, the entire car wash was planned and prepared for. All I had to do was show up. I had five very dear friends spend their day holding signs, scrubing cars, and sitting in the hot sun hoping for another car to show up.
I spent that time in amazement as each of them spent our dead time texting (as fast as their thumbs could go) all their friends to try to drum up some more bussiness. And when a car did come by, no one tried to get out of helping, we all jumped in and sprayed, scrubed, rinsed, and dried every car. They were eager to help me out however they could.
It was truely a service to me, there was nothing in it for any of them. All the donations are going directly to pay for my part of the mission trip. I honestly wish I could give them something in return for what they have done for me. But all I can do is say thank you, and thank God for the amazing brothers and sisters He has blessed me with.
So thank you,
Sarah, Mauk, Justin, Hannah, and Josiah
You have washed my feet, by washing other people's cars!
I hope some day to wash yours.
