('The church of God a kingdom is')
John 13 v.5, 13-15
***********
Jesus did wash disciples feet
They dusty in the heat
Of path they trod, He humbly there
Did show them service, care
He said, If I your Lord, Master
Have washed your feet for sure
You ought also to follow me
Lowly foot-washers be
Sharing, serving one another
To loving actions stir
Following Jesus' example
Living up to His call
Lord, give us grace, in word and deed
To be servants indeed
And at times open to be served
By others, love observed

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Glad it's not about brushing each other's teef... lol. That thread is now lingering in the back of my thoughts. lol...and I got no one else to blame... hehehe
Thanks CB. Ahh, the teef.
There was 'Master of the stool' in service of olden days. Bleeuurggh! It's Too Much Info (TMI) to explain it. It is what it says on the tin!
Grom of the Stole, that genteel courtier in charge of the royal close. Oh my. Indeed. Bleeuurggh! Swing open the windows wide.
wash a foot .. he asked aloud having misplaced his teef ... twelve inches she swiftly replied with a wry smile and a limp ............... 🙂
Thanks N. lol. Crypticbard and I are on about Master of the stool. It's Too Much Info. I thought it was something to do with royal chairs/stools. Well, it is about the 'throne'. Swoon!
Orchidee keeps blessing my days with words of Strength. May the Lord keep feeding you.
Thanks Osei.
