I've heard said at church before, by people bearing their testimonies, that they look forward to kneeling at the feet of Christ in the next life, and kissing his feet. I have always know that when I see Christ again, that that is what I would probably do.... But I never felt it. You know the feeling that the others express.
Until yesterday, then I understood that feeling.
I don't know if you all know, but Elm's sister Rhonda (my sister in law) is dying of cancer. And her time is drawing near. I'll be surprised if she is still with us on Sunday.
She gets anxious and stressed quite a bit, and needs comfort. One of the things that calms her is having lotion and cream gently rubbed on her legs and feet. When ever we are in visiting, I do that for her. Yesterday, as I was gently massaging her feet... I was thinking of how very much I love her. And how if she needed me to, I would massage her feet all night.
I then though, if this is how much I love my sister, that I would sit for hours on end and rub her feet, how wouldn't I feet if it was my Savior in front of me. I now understand, how people can talk about kissing the Saviors feet.

What beautiful thoughts!

My neighbor died of cancer this last Tuesday, her son's 11th birthday. Her son is a friend of ours and frequently plays with the girls in our backyard. I have been a mess ever since. My heart goes to you and your family. Thank you for your thought. A definite point to ponder.
