feet...

This past week I purchased my first pair of TOMS and I eagerly await their arrival in the mail this week...

Then this weekend I went out and tried on snow boots for the upcoming winter. I'm putting off that decision a little bit longer, but I did end up buying my first pair of house shoes...

Tonight the sermon talked a lot about feet...
Beginning by talking about the "bent" woman in Lk 13 and how she'd spent 18 years of her life looking at nothing but feet.  Then picturing the woman who washed Jesus's feet with her tears and hair. Remembering how foot washing was done at the table where the wine and bread were shared.  Thinking of the women who stayed by Jesus's feet as he hung from the cross. Jesus tenderly bent down to the woman who had been crippled for so long, bent down to the woman who wept at his feet, and bent down to wash the disciples feet... and yet on the cross he didn't bend down to comfort the women who stood by. He descended even further than any of them could imagine... defeating the grave, demonstrating the great power of his tender love.
