Lord, Are You Going To Wash My Feet?

Contributed by Blessed Amonoo on Apr 5, 2019

When was the last time you decided to serve the less privileged at the expense of receiving service from them?

Our children can come out with some of the most alarming, humiliating, or shocking things, all done ...read more
