I Wonder…

I Wonder ~ by Ruth Harms Calkin

You know, Lord, How I serve You

with great emotional fervor in the limelight.

You know how eagerly I speak for You at a Women’s club.

You know my genuine enthusiasm at a Bible study.

But how would I react, I wonder,

if You pointed to a basin of water

and asked me to wash the calloused feet

of a bent and wrinkled old woman

day after day, month after month,

in a room where nobody saw and nobody knew.?
