Take Apart Day
Washing Feet
After a fun morning outside in sandals, enjoying our crazy 80 degree weather, I noticed that Nathan and Bea's feet were quite dirty. We haven't had to wash feet before naps since last summer... and by the end of the summer I probably didn't bother. But the first days of sandaled dirt digging are a contrast to our socked, booted, covered up experience of winter and I felt the urge to wash feet. I was thinking about the best place to do this, when I realized that it was Maundy Thursday. Suddenly a regular kind of kid-cleaning took on a deeper meaning. I got to tell them the story of Jesus washing his friends' feet and we talked about caring for our friends and how God isn't afraid to see our stinky feet.
