![]() Day 3- Tuesdayĭetails: Washing guests’ feet was a job delegated to the lowest servant. Come up with a way you can “be a light” to someone this week. Talk about how a little light can illuminate a large part of the room, just as we can affect those around us by showing Jesus’ light in us. Make It Memorable: Go into a room of your house that has no light and turn on the little light from their bag or a small flashlight.
