Good afternoon, Kitty.

I'm a day late, BUT .... Yesterday was National Dog Day.

Why should every day be National Dog Day?
They are the cause of roughly 65% of smiles around the world.

A belated Happy National Dog Day.

Hey, if yesterday was Nat’l Dog Day, it is on the same day as my new dog’s birthday. He turned one yesterday. He is sometimes a good boy now. I am still a bit surprised when he’s good for more than a hour at a time though!

[TheConservativeParty]

Greetings to you LTOS and your dear Lynn-Dah. I’ve got one old doggie and one young. Old doggie is a good good boy.

Lynn-Dah loves to visit FR! She is a good conservative, but DOES have a Fur coat, not a Respectable Republican Cloth Coat! LOL!

A Picture Of Humility

August 28, 2014

Read: John 13:1-11

God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. —James 4:6

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 123-125; 1 Corinthians 10:1-18

During the Easter season, my wife and I attended a church service where the participants sought to model the events that Jesus and His disciples experienced on the night before He was crucified. As part of the service, the church staff members washed the feet of some of the church volunteers. As I watched, I wondered which was more humbling in our day—to wash another person’s feet or to have someone else wash yours. Both those who were serving and those being served were presenting distinct pictures of humility.

When Jesus and His disciples were gathered for the Last Supper (John 13:1-20), Jesus, in humble servanthood, washed His disciples’ feet. But Simon Peter resisted, saying, “You shall never wash my feet!” Then Jesus answered, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me” (13:8). Washing their feet was not a mere ritual. It could also be seen as a picture of our need of Christ’s cleansing—a cleansing that will never be realized unless we are willing to be humble before the Savior.

James wrote, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). We receive God’s grace when we acknowledge the greatness of God, who humbled Himself at the cross (Phil. 2:5-11).

My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine;
Now hear me when I pray, take all my sin away,
O let me from this day be wholly Thine! —Palmer

The most powerful position on earth is kneeling before the Lord of the universe.

Insight

In ancient Israel, the task of foot-washing was necessary because of the open shoes worn in streets filled with dirt and refuse. Because it was such an unpleasant task, it was usually assigned to the lowest servant in the house. Here Jesus Himself performed this menial job (John 13:3-5).
