Pedicures

I am madly in love with my husband! I fall in love with him all over again on a daily basis. Although there are times when frustration gets the best of me and I don't always show him how much I love and appreciate him, he is an AMAZING guy! He constantly shows me that he loves me by doing little things, and Saturday was nothing more than that! I had been talking about getting a pedicure before heading off to the beach for the weekend (for Lucy's dance competition), and he offered to give me a pedicure himself. At first I hesitated, because I LOVE PEDICURES, and in my head I was pretty sure my husband couldn't do it as well as the lovely ladies at American Nails in Boiling Springs, NC, but I decided to let him give it a whirl!!! :-)

He did an AMAZING job. He put my girls to bed, let me put my feet in a tub of warm water, sit back and relax in a completely quiet house. He then proceeded to scrub my feet, trim my nails, and then even painted my nails with a fun pink, sparkly, color! Never once did he complain, and he did it out of complete and wholesome love!!

This morning during our youth Sunday school class we talked about the story of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples and how that was the ultimate demonstration of service and love. Back in the days of Jesus, the roads were made of mud and people did not wear shoes, so when Jesus washed his disciples feet they were filthy. He did it out of LOVE and SERVITUDE. What a challenge for us this week. How can we show Christ's love and service to each other, not only because it is Jesus' command of us, but because we WANT to demonstrate the unconditional love that Jesus has for us!!!
