Footwasher / feetwasher

I snagged this piece from Gordon McDonald's latest article click here to read the article. His wife gave it to him in a card.

Lord, as I grow older, I think I would rather be known as …
-thoughtful, rather than gifted,
-loving, versus quick or bright,
-gentle, over being powerful,
-a listener, more than a great communicator,
-available, rather than a hard worker,
-sacrificial, instead of successful,
-reliable, not famous,
-content, more than driven,
-self-controlled, rather than exciting,
-generous, instead of rich,
-and compassionate, more than competent,
I want to be a foot-washer.

I like that. I always enjoy reading Gordon's articles. I appreciate his wisdom, insight, and the fact that he's not afraid to mentor younger people. Someday (if I ever grow up) I want to be like him.

One scary thing in this article... he visited South Korea, and he says our grandchildren better learn to speak Chinese.
