Beauty of God, taking flight
in the midst of the storm.
Clouds of gray, without rest
and in mercy this snow falls.
In each breath of wind,
there is a telling
of glory in white
pure and without spot.
As the wind tells
the red bird flies
reminding of truth
there will be life
oh, unending love.
“Having loved His own who were in the world, He now showed then the full extent of His love…
Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.
Do you understand what I have done for you?
Now that I, your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
I have set an example that you should do as I have done to you.
Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
I tell you the truth, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts Me; and whoever accepts Me accepts the One who sent Me.
A new commandment I give to you; love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know you are My disciples, if you love one another. “
-excerpts from John 13 NIV
