Serving — The Foot-Washer

You notice the unglamorous task nobody's doing and you just start doing it.

“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. (KJV)”

Galatians 5:13

What This Gift Looks Like

You clear the table before you're asked, notice the coffee running low before the meeting starts, and stay behind to fold the chairs when everyone else has already left. Your gift rarely gets thanked, because the whole point of it is that it works best unnoticed. You've made peace with a truth most people never learn: that love mostly looks like unglamorous, repeated, physical usefulness.
