Never did I think that painting would lead me to such a profound experience. God has such special ways to talk to us. We had a blast painting all together with our team from CGLC and three of the pastors kids! Our mission trip today was to paint the house of one of the pastors. At the end of the day, we were all covered with white paint. The pastor gave us a bucket of water so we could rinse. The daughter of this pastor was also covered in white paint, as she had been helping us all day! I first proposed to try to get the paint out of her beautiful, dark, long hair, and her arms and legs. Eventually she put one of her feet in the bucket and I started to rub the paint off of her feet. Taking care of her feet brought to me a wave of love for her. I felt at this time we belong to the same family built on God’s love. It gave me a profound sense of what Jesus did at the last supper with His disciples. Bending to a brother or a sister’s foot is a great way to pour out our love and our desire to articulate, “you mean so much to me.”
