We look forward to Jesus coming back for lots of reasons. I look forward to seeing Him with my physical eyes and hugging Him. But today I would like to draw our attention to something He did before celebrating that last Passover with His disciples. Unlike many human leaders, Jesus didn't demand that others meet His needs. In fact, some of the disciples were arguing about which one was greater when Jesus took off His outer robe, tied a towel around His waist and washed the disciples' feet. I'm pretty sure there were some faces red with shame in the room. This is one of many examples of true servanthood He set; the greatest being giving His life to pay for our sins.
It's so tempting to "toot our horn" and assume that things we do, people we know, positions we have make us important. Jesus taught and set the example that serving others is what gives us greatness. Who can we serve today?
Lord, you know that, like the disciples, I yearn to be considered great by others. Grant me a servant's heart so that I may discover that true greatness is found in humility and service. Amen

Bathroom Redo Update
I normally try to achieve more than is humanly possible in one day. So...I didn't even finish priming the walls yesterday. I ran out of Kilz 2. Augh!! I didn't have time to run get some more because my honey and I had an appointment to keep. After grabbing some tacos, we went to Lowe's and picked up the supplies needed to finish the bathroom. So, today, the goal is to finish priming - which should take an hour - then texturing the walls and painting the ceiling. I should be able to prime again and paint tomorrow. Hopefully...

1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup melted butter
3 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
