The Old Mama checks out until Monday

I am the biggest Martha on the planet, and there is much work for me to set my hands to during the next few days. With a meeting tonight and the remainder of Holy Week to attend to as directress of the Altar Guild, it behooves me to get my act together and stop blogging for a few days.

I wish for you, for me, for us all, a Holy Week that leaves us in awe of and in love with a God so great he would give us His Son, and a Son so in love with us that he would become the very payment for our sins.

I'll leave you with a favorite picture and some lovely words:

Jesus, knowing the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel. Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded......When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you."
