Just had to share something special

I was actually going to post this last night but never was able to get around to it.
Last night we had the easter egg hunt at church and bryer was more than happy to go to the age group above his class on accident, but he didn't want to leave.
Well last night we talked about when Jesus washed his disciples feet. How he served them. The preacher talked about how now it only takes a person with something very special in there heart. Most people think that is dirty, ugly to go and wash peoples feet in honor.
Sitting there i thought back to Falls Creek about 15 years ago when Brother John White was still alive. You may all have heard of him because his Wife and the youngest of 5 of his 10 kids were on Extreme makeover home edition in Dewey Oklahoma. He died in 2005 from a massive heart attack at the First Baptist Church Family Workout Center. He was a amazing man, i could listen to him talk all day.
Well back around 15 years ago or so we were at Falls Creek and they were talking about the same thing as The Preacher was talking about last night. Brother John washed everyones feet. He did not think it was ugly or dirty. He did it just as a servant for his lord. It didn't matter that some of the kids feet smelled horrible, he did it just as Jesus did. Isn't that amazing.

"Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded himself." JOHN 13:3

"After that, He poured water into a basin and began to was the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded." JOHN 13:5

Simon Peter wondered why Jesus would wash his feet. And he asked him
"Lord why are you washing my feet?" john 13:6

"Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this." john 13:7

Jesus did this so that we would be apart of him. He knew after this last supper he was going to be with his father.



Bryer dale is so stinkin smart. On the way home last night this was our conversation.

Bryer: "mom you know why Jesus died?"

Me:"Yeah, why do you think he died?"

Bryer:"He died for you, me and everyone in the whole wide world. Because of our sins"

Me: "do you know what sins are?"

Bryer:" Yeah they are some bad stuff, Jesus and God are really powerful and control everything in the world. He even controls lighting, "

Me:"You know he heals sick people just like he healed your papa and Cousin Reni"

Bryer:" How did he heal them, i never saw them heal them"

Me:"Well you really can't see him heal them"

Bryer:" No we can see him, he is everywhere, the clouds the sky and even the clouds when they are all broken up"

It is so amazing how kids just listen and know all these things. I am still learning and trying to understand all of it.
