I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus

Today I was kneeling on the floor to clean the oven. My feet were sticking out behind me, and since I hadn't yet swept the kitchen floor, my feet were covered with crumbs. So sweetly and gently, my little boy came up behind me and brushed my feet clean.


Some days, there is no more humbling thought than this realization:
I am supposed to be teaching HIM how to be like Jesus, not the other way around!

Very touching. Sometimes I really think our children are here to teach us because I learn so much from them.

Thanks for sharing that. We used your story along with the picture of Christ washing the disciples' feet as the intro to our lesson about Christlike attributes that we should develop. Our recent convert and less-active family were both touched with the story.
