True Beauty Begins In The Heart - A Devotional For Teenage GirlsSample

So was foot washing some kind of Jewish party game? Ummmmmm, no. In this culture of dusty roads and sandaled feet, it was customary for a servant to wash the guests’ feet when they arrived. It was a dirty, gross, lowly job — you know, sweaty feet generally aren’t very attractive!
