Serving Others

I came across the card ministry link under the volunteer section on our church's website last night. I'll have to admit, I didn't get it, and I thought "What kind of good work is that, putting together cards? That seems pretty trivial."

So on the radio this morning I heard part of a sermon from Pastor Jeremiah at Shadow Mountain where he talked about how at the last supper, Jesus' disciples were arguing about who was to be the greatest when Jesus, their leader, got down and washed their feet, which turns out was one of the most menial tasks in that culture, given to the lowliest of servants.

Jamie mentioned to me later in the day that she was thinking of helping with the card ministry and explained what it was in more detail. In fact, I didn't connect the two events above until she mentioned it.

If Jesus can wash the feet of his disciples, who am I to say that "I'm above "?
