April 13th - Holy Thursday

Today is the day Christian's worldwide celebrate the events leading up to Christ's death. The day is typically recognized with the story of Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. It was a way of saying "I am one of you. I do not hold myself higher than you, but with you." It is also known as Maudy Thursday. Throughout history it has been a day in which the "rich" would make donations of food, clothing, etc. to the poor. People would gather at the castle gates for "castoffs" with pride and respect on both parts.

I'm not suggesting you go wash someone's feet today, but rather consider making a donation to a local charity, Goodwill or some other organization. Perhaps start your Spring Cleaning. And most of all, act humbly.
