I Wonder
You know, Lord, how I serve You
with great emotional fervor,
in the limelight.
You know how eagerly I speak for You
at a women’s club.
You know how I shine when I promote
a fellowship group.
You know my genuine enthusiasm
at a Bible study.
But how would I react, I wonder,
if You pointed to a basin of water
and asked me to wash the calloused feet
of a bent and wrinkled old woman,
day after day,
month after month,
in a room where nobody saw
and nobody knew.
Here is a link to her website: Poem: I Wonder
Does this poem touch your heart as it does mine? It is said that the choices we make when no one is looking tell us who we really are.
Lord, I pray that I will find someone's feet to wash every day while no one is looking. Let me find balance this year between the "small acts done with great kindness" and all the other things that go with being a Christian woman, mother and wife.
