[Faith-talk] Modern Foot-Washing

[qubit]

this happens every day in hospitals and nursing homes by the wonderful 
nurses and aids and volunteers.
It also happens at home when one person is not physically able to do for 
him/her-self.

Serving others in Jesus' name. One example I heard long ago was of
someone spending time with someone, cutting their toenails because
the person couldn't do it.
